Maybe it still is. The signs would go up and mysteriously disappear withing 24 hours, then cars, belonging either to 'first responders' or associates of Peter Zaccaro (whose office was across Lafayette) would east up all the spots. In '98 I parked there for, oh, two months straight, IIRC. The west side of Petrosino used to be a parking free-for-all. Maybe it still is.

As with so many projects, the real test of the City's comitment to livable streets is not just fixing up what exists but having the presence of mind and the strength of will to take space from cars and return it to pedestrians. With that in mind, has anyone seen the Union Square north plans that Curbed had the other day. Gross. More Like this please.
