We are finding that many companies that once parked their vehicles in their yards now use street parking - they're leasing the yard space to other companies.

I use them its the only way to get a cab from Woodside LIRR. The yellow cabs dont stop and IF you can flag one they wont take you anywhere unless its Manhattan or the airport. (They say "im going home" or some BS story and turn on there off duty lights. Thats why all those gypsy cabs took over. Yes the cabs are falling apart but safe enough for local, super quick to downtown Astoria @ $7 --no bullshit fees
I am completely against what this so-caled livery company is doing. They are being lousy neighbors and seem quite sleazy. But I have to ask, isn't there a decently sized parking lot for the churchgoers facing the curb in question??
"who would get into one of those???" At Woodside station (or any station on the 7 line) you don't have a choice unless you call a private car service. In which case: YOU WILL freeze your ass off as you fend off beggars, drug dealers and prostitutes waiting for it to show up.
Its getting to be worse then 42nd street 1971 down there. Civilians cant carry a gun and there are no cops in sight !! You have a bigger chance getting injured or killed on the street then you do riding in a junkyard livery cab.
The livery cab parking issue is also a problem at 61 street and Roosevelt Ave. They idle there and double park all day, waiting for fares. Of course, it is illegal for liveries to make pickups, and even if they are hanging out there until they get a dispatch call there should be no reason to choose that one street as an informal depot. TLC needs to come down there every day and write up tickets for these livery scum.
They dont actually make pickups. You simpley walk over to a car, the driver calls the dispatcher who puts it in the book and you are relay'd to ordered waiting car across the street, in front or behind the original car you walked over to. Then guys have it down to a science, 100% legal

Pakistani or Indians no doubt all illegal aliens owing it and working there. this is what happens when we allow and encourage an invasion of non citizens to our country. Not good neighbors? They have no interest in being neighborly because their agenda is to dominate and make tax free dollars. They have no respect for the law or this country. Start calling the IRS, NYS & City Dept of Finance about this company.
As for the illegal alien taxi depot at the LIRR station, despite what another poster has stated, that area is quite safe at all hours due to a couple of 24 hour stores and high foot traffic. What makes it sleazy are the illegal aliens who drive the fake taxis. who knows who these people are and if they have a criminal record or a Domestic Violence record in their home country?
The Pakistani/Indians who stand in front of the LIRR stairway on 61st Street are not to be trusted. Even if you agree on a price before you enter the cab, once you get to the destination they scream, yell & threaten customers to get more cash from them. They are most aggressive towards all American woman whose heads are not covered with veils. And because they are used to seeing women in porn magazines and movies these idiots assume all non Pakistani/Indian women are sitting ducks. Women be warned. There have been attacks and sexual assaults from these car service drivers. If they have an accident or harm you will you ever be able to find them again to press charges or sue them?
There is so much racist vitriol coming from this thread. The truth is, you can't assume that all livery drivers are illegal. Probably many are, but you can't lump them all together and assume they are criminals or have sexist beliefs. I think livery companies are obnoxious, but a necessary evil. I just wish there was a better process where they are not clogging up parking spots and blocking narrow streets.
I had lots of sympathy for St. Mary's a couple of days ago; now not so much. Their Deacon (Montes) lives on my block & every time it snows, he puts a huge mountain of snow in front of his house so that if you try & park their, you block part of his (EMPTY) driveway. Pretty selfish neighbor, but some go to church on Sunday and play the hypocrite on Monday!

start slashing tires.
who would get into one of those??? Half of those cars have large pieces missing from them, mismatched tires, etc.... death traps.

No that is not the answer !
That would make you the criminal.
Find out what the parking regs are take some pics and call your local precinct.
