How many drivers on alternate side days double-park and idle until the street sweeper comes by? Then, they move to the other side of the street and idle until it is safe to turn off the engine and leave the car. Imagine a single block of 12 or 15 cars--all idling for an hour and a half. If the police are not going to enforce the existing 3-min. NYC idling law, it is up to the people to make it happen. May 6th, 2008 will be our City's first stop-idling day.
