Staten Island's precincts are competing in a bracket-style contest called 'March (Parking) Madness' to determine which precinct has the worst parking habits. The 120th, 121st, 122nd, and 123rd precincts are under scrutiny as locals vote on the worst parker. Streetsblog New York City reported that the 120th Precinct had a high number of personal vehicles, with many receiving multiple tickets. The project highlights ongoing issues related to placard parking and public space usage by NYPD facilities.
