"The Department of Transportation confirmed that alternate-side parking rules are back in effect, following a nearly month-long pause that began after the January 26 storm dumped more than a foot of snow across the city. Subfreezing temperatures kept the mess locked in place, trapping some vehicles under icy layers of slush, litter and whatever else winter left behind. For weeks, many blocks felt less like orderly streets and more like a free-for-all, with cars pushed off the curb or angled around towering snow piles."
"Street sweepers now face the unenviable task of tackling what remains: melting chunks of dirty snow, scattered trash and the stubborn buildup that accumulated during the suspension. Warmer temperatures have started to soften the frozen mix, but plenty of gritty leftovers are still clinging to curbsides across the five boroughs. The city also extended the suspension earlier this week to accommodate a run of holidays, including Presidents' Day, Lunar New Year, Ash Wednesday and Losar, the Tibetan New Year."
Alternate-side parking has resumed across New York City after a nearly month-long suspension following the January 26 storm that dumped more than a foot of snow. Subfreezing temperatures kept snowbanks and icy layers of slush, litter and debris locked in place, displacing many vehicles and disrupting normal curbside order. Street sweepers will tackle melting chunks of dirty snow, scattered trash and stubborn buildup while warmer temperatures gradually soften the frozen mix. The suspension was extended for recent holidays including Presidents' Day, Lunar New Year, Ash Wednesday and Losar. Parking rules and fines up to $65 are now back in effect, and drivers must move cars during posted full-time windows; double-parking remains illegal.
