Dear Neighbor,

Throughout the year people stop me on the street to tell me how helpful they find the New York City Parking Calendar.

Most people say having the parking regulations handy saves them time, money and the headache of having their car towed. Obeying parking regulations also helps with street cleaning and reduces traffic congestion.

Here is your 2005 New York City Parking Calendar. It lists the days of the year that certain parking regulations are suspended throughout the five boroughs.

It's important that you carefully read the sign posted nearest to where you park. It's not uncommon to see more than one sign posted on a pole, so be sure to read them all.

If you get an undeserved parking ticket, call me and I'll send you my brochure entitled Your Rights When The PVB Is Wrong.

Drive safely and remember to buckle up.
