stripping the department of the ability in 2011<\/a> amid complaints that the stickers were too hard to remove. Failure to move for the city\u2019s fleet of sweepers already carries a $65 fine. Sanitation Commissioner Gregory Anderson said the stickers will help keep streets cleaner.<\/p>\n\u201cIntro 92 undoes a grave mistake made by a prior City Council and gives us an additional tool to help us effectively clean the city’s streets,\u201d he wrote in a statement.<\/p>\n
\u201cSelfish car owners who prioritize their convenience over clean neighborhoods will soon be peeling stickers off their cars, while also paying for a summons,\u201d Anderson continued.<\/p>\n
The department has sought greater power to fine drivers who don\u2019t move for street sweepers in recent years, including a so-far unsuccessful bid in Albany to put cameras on street sweepers that would automatically fine any driver caught blocking the path of the trucks.<\/p>\n
The City Council also passed a law Tuesday requiring businesses that generate food and yard waste to participate in composting programs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Department of Sanitation is bringing back tough-to-remove \u2018shame\u2019 stickers that inspectors will slap on the windows of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":283958,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[128,9,24,63,129,131,130],"class_list":["post-283957","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-the-bronx","tag-bronx","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-the-bronx","tag-the-bronx-headlines","tag-the-bronx-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/283957","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=283957"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/283957\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/283958"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=283957"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=283957"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=283957"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
