New Street Parking Spots in Dumbo

August 24th, 2007

It’s obvious that parking is a touchy issue in NYC, with deeded parking spots going for $225,000 in Manhattan. Dumbo’s spots aren’t quite that high, yet, but in this small neighborhood, a change in parking signs and regulations bring out angry reactions in some. The Dept of Transportation has updated signs overnight, and the repurposing of the Pearl Street Triangle from a parking triangle to a pedestrian park started heated discussions in earlier posts about Pearl St. Triangle beginning work and its progress.

The dozen or so spaces lost to the Pearl Street Triangle have been reclaimed with a few changes in parking regulations in three areas:

  1. Pearl Street (Between Plymouth and Water Street) is now a “No Parking Fridays 8-9:30am” area.
  2. Pearl Street (Between Front and York Street) is now a “No Parking Fridays 8-9:30am” area.
  3. Anchorage Pl (against the Pearl Street Triangle) is now a “2 Hour Parking 9am-7pm except Sun” area.

Below is a rough Google Map that shows their approximate locations (in red). I’ll also try update the map with street regulations. Please check back on the Location page for parking updates with the below GMap.

    On Saturday there were new street signs installed that change parking regulations. I'm the idiot that parked his car in front of a new "no standing anytime" sign across from 57 Front St. and had it towed on Monday morning. Not sure where else in the neighborhood changes were made but my wife called the DOT commissioner to see when the signs were changed and if we could fight the ticket. He was sympathetic and is sending us documentation stating that the signs were changed without any formal warning to fight it. He also said more changes are coming to the neighborhood so keep your head up. Was anyone else towed or incur a ticket?
