I agree with d. How can a mayor bold enough to propose charging motorists to drive into Manhattan be too timid to tell people they can’t drive in parks? It’s not like there isn’t a constituency for such a plan – the supporters are numerous and passionate. Can anyone explain this one to us?

A placard abuse crackdown would be wonderful, but overnight results could be obtained if the Commissioner issued a directive to officers to actually obey the law, followed up with ticketing and towing. Thus far, besides in Chinatown, there has been zero leadership from anywhere in the PD on this issue. How much can the DoT really do?

Any progress on closing Central Park and Prospect Park to traffic? Of all the plans, it seems like one of the easiest things they could do.

Good things are happening. A crackdown on placard abuse is long overdue, and is an urgent priority.

Placard abuse erodes respect for the rule of law and government integrity.
