trymahjong Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I attended the central 1&2 PIP meeting and the Captain told us that all street parking on Washington Ave between Houston and Shepherd will be suspended during the NBA allstars Feb. 15 - 17. Thought I'd give everyone a heads up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trymahjong Posted February 6, 2013 Author Share Posted February 6, 2013 The Captain did tell us the "no parking" would be temporary. He explained that in the age of "tweeting" huge numbers of fans might converge on a single establishment in a matter of minutes--with the accompanying traffic snarls etc. He said it was safer to have the street clear of parked cars in case emergency vechiles were needed to get somewhere quickly down Washington ave.

trymahjong Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 This came in an email from Ellen Cohen's office: NBA All-Star Weekend is here! Council Member Cohen met with city officials to finalize logistics for accommodating the expected influx of tourists. In District C, a temporary no-parking zone will be enforced on some streets along the Washington Corridor. Though on-street parking is normally available on Washington Ave. and Center St, parking will be temporarily restricted on the north side of each of these streets over the weekend to allow access for emergency vehicles. Please keep these restrictions in mind when planning your weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
