New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced on Friday, Sept. 4, an extension of the recent reform to Alternate Side Parking (ASP). Residential side streets with multiple ASP days will continue to be cleaned once per week for another two weeks, through September 19, 2020. In June, the Mayor and Sanitation Commissioner Kathryn Garcia unveiled the reform, the most dramatic change to ASP in decades.
Amended rules pertain to residential “side streets” and not to commercial areas. Streets with multiple ASP days would be cleaned on the last day of the week, as posted on each street’s currently posted sign. For example, a street with ASP regulations posted on Tuesday and Friday will be cleaned on Friday only. Daily sweeping regulations in metered areas will not change, and the City’s department of sanitation (DSNY) will continue cleaning streets with posted ,”No Standing, No Stopping and No Parking” regulations as needed.
This change is the most dramatic change to ASP regulations since 2000, when the City reduced the duration of sweeping windows from 3 hours to just 90 minutes. The City has also reduced sweeping frequency in several City neighborhoods, including in Brooklyn Community Board 6 (Park Slope & Red Hook), Brooklyn Community Board 7 (Sunset Park), and Manhattan Community Board 12 (Washington Heights & Inwood).
Alternate Side Parking has been in place in New York City since the mid-1950s, and regulations are currently in place on nearly 2,300 miles of New York City streets.

It’s September 20th today and I haven’t seen any official comment on whether the once a week ASP reform will continue. So are we back to twice a week now?
Alternate Side Parking Rules Suspended September 28
Alternate side parking (street cleaning) regulations are suspended on Monday, September 28, 2020 for Yom Kippur. All other regulations, including parking meters, remain in effect.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced on Sept. 18 that reforms to Alternate Side Parking (ASP) would be in place until further notice. The City first unveiled the reform in June, announcing that non-metered side streets with multiple ASP days would be cleaned once per week, the most dramatic change to ASP in decades.
Amended rules pertain to non-metered residential “side streets” and not to commercial areas. Streets with multiple ASP days would be cleaned on the last day of the week, as posted on each street’s currently posted sign. For example, a street with ASP regulations posted on Tuesday and Friday will be cleaned on Friday only. Daily sweeping regulations in metered areas will not change, and DSNY will continue cleaning streets with posted No Standing, No Stopping and No Parking regulations as needed.
This is ridiculous just suspend parking for the week, if someone has to travel for a short time you must go pay for parking garage all because you have to move vehicle from side to side, sometime sweeper never shows up so you are out of bed moving vehicles that’s ridiculous.
super helpful, thanks
