City Brings Back Car Stickers for Street Cleaning | New York City News
Description
The city is reviving window stickers for unmoved cars to tackle street cleaning woes, reversing a 2012 ban and aiming to nudge drivers into compliance with a $65 fine. Council Member Gale Brewer blames pandemic-era relaxations for a surge in violations — half a million cars sit unmoved weekly, clogging cleaning efforts. While some residents support the tactic, others question its effectiveness. The Department of Sanitation backs the move and is also pushing for camera-equipped sweepers, modeled after bus lane enforcement, to boost efficiency. If successful, the plan could eventually reduce alternate side parking — a win for many. The new law goes into effect immediately upon mayor’s signature.
