Traffic around PS 32 in Staten Island has returned to problematic levels after a brief improvement due to parking enforcement. Local resident Joana Stiles observed that when traffic officers were present, parents respected parking rules, reducing chaos during school dismissal. However, since enforcement has waned, double-parking and blocked crosswalks have returned, posing safety risks. The cyclical nature of this issue highlights the importance of consistent enforcement to maintain order around the school and ensure children's safety.
"Everybody was doing pretty good... [Parking enforcement] was here maybe a week and a half, and then that was it. Everybody went back and everything went to hell."
"The traffic police would just go around and with their bullhorn say 'move your car, move your car.' For some strange reason, everybody found a parking spot then."
