They’re baaaack. <\/p>\n
The giant stickers of shame that for 25 years publicly lambasted New York City drivers who failed to follow alternate-side parking rules have returned after more than a decade hiatus. <\/p>\n
The City Council banned the long-used practice in 2012 after multiple complaints about the sticker adhesive damaging vehicle windows and allegations of violated rights to due process. <\/p>\n
In banning them, the council overturned a veto by then-Mayor Michael Boomberg.<\/p>\n
For the last 14 years, they’ve been gone. Manhattan Councilwoman Gale Brewer sponsored a bill to repeal the ban. It overwhelmingly passed earlier this summer. Brewer argued there aren’t enough cops to get the job done.<\/p>\n
But will the stickers be enough? Brewer just hopes they resonate. <\/p>\n
She was out on the streets slapping vehicles with large neon-green shield-shaped stickers on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
The new stickers read, “This vehicle violated NYC street cleaning rules. As a result, this street could not be properly cleaned.” <\/p>\n
In smaller print, it tells the alleged scofflaws to use warm water and a scraper to remove the glue. <\/p>\n
The Department of Sanitation is distributing the stickers. Each one comes with a $65 ticket.<\/p>\n
Asked about the stickers’ return at an unrelated press conference Tuesday, Mayor Zohran Mamdani said he “fully supported” the practice, calling it “critically important” that the sanitation department can street-clean. <\/p>\n
He allowed the legislation to take effect after a 30-day waiting period without signing or vetoing it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"They’re baaaack.
