Alternate Side Parking Suspended for Additional Two Weeks

The massive traffic and pedestrian blockages usually seen on Webster Avenue, facing north from East 188th Street, seem like a distant memory as the streets empty out in early April, 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. Alternate Side Parking will be suspended for an additional two weeks through Tuesday, Apr. 28, 2020, according to City authorities.

New Yorkers can still use their cars but are being asked to stay at home as much as possible, and to maintain social distancing while out on foot, and to wear a face mask or face covering like a scarf or bandana.
