I am pleased to inform my constituents that I have successfully petitioned the Department of Sanitation for a moratorium of the alternate side street cleaning regulations due to the Con-Edison renovations on several streets in Riverdale. Effective immediately, alternate side parking will be suspended until August 2018 on Greystone Avenue from Manhattan College Parkway to West 238th Street, Waldo Avenue from Manhattan College Parkway to West 238th Street, Dash Place from West 242nd Street to Waldo Avenue, and West 240th Street from Greystone Avenue to Dash Place.

The work Con-Edison is doing on gas lines in the neighborhood is expected to continue until August. It is unreasonable to further reduce parking already impacted by this work by forcing residents to move their cars for street cleaning. I hope that this will ease the burden that my constituents face as Con-Edison continues to replace gas lines in the area to meet the increased demand. If anyone has any questions or concerns, please feel free to call my district office at 718-796-5345.
