Well it’s about time. https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2024/04/19/justice-dept-citing-streetsblog-reporting-threatens-to-sue-nypd-over-cops-sidewalk-parking. This has to do with violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Remember, the ADA is civil rights legislation, which is why the Department of Justice is involved.
Where are police, fire fighters, teachers, and so on supposed to park? In legal spaces. Better yet, take public transportation.
Bravo to Streetsblog for this.
