The city will soon enter the second phase of lowering alternate side parking regulations in Windsor Terrace, Sunset Park and Greenwood Heights.

Starting on June 25, alternate side parking will be suspended on certain streets for around six weeks as the city of lowering parking restrictions from twice a week to once per week.

• North: 15^th Street (included) from Hamilton Avenue to 4^th Avenue.
• East: 4^th Avenue (not included) from 15^th Street to 65^th Street.

• West: The Bulkhead from 65^th Street to 15^th Street.

And on July 2, new street cleaning regulations for the following streets will go into effect (see map posted at right):

The reduced cleaning schedule comes at the request of Community Board 7, which, according to a release from the Department of Transportation, was the first community board to take advantage of legislation passed by the city council in 2011 allowing communities with especially clean streets to reduce the number of times per week they're cleaned.
