Use of parking spaces in NYC

2023-03-08 22:19:07.954494+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

How much should it cost to use an NYC street? A bill on outdoor dining is set to decide.

“A car can park in a space maybe for a few hours, but we're talking about keeping somebody actually employed,” said Susannah Koteen, who owns three restaurants in Harlem. “If I can have this restaurant full and my outdoor dining full on a weekend, that's an additional server, a busser and a person in the kitchen. Those are jobs.”

Fascinating to have the discussions about the best use of public property like this, especially acknowledging that parking is definitively not the best use....
