Restaurant annexes the curb

Image 

 Today is the day City Council has a remote hearing on a deranged and autocratic proposal by the Department of Transportation to give restaurants, BIDs and Transportation Alternatives and Open Plans connected groups the right to annex roads and steal parking spaces for privatization to continue the pandemic era "open streets" program that barricades streets and impedes traffic. 

A good example of this colonizing of the streets of New York for dining and drinking is this space hogging restaurant that built two shanties and stole multiple parking spaces where the aforementioned urbanist lobbyists have ties. 


Here's where you can testify via writing or zoom to finish this program once and for all.

More whining from over entitled, self righteous car owners.

"Remote hearing" says it all. They've already decided what they're going to do without any input from the public. Shame on them .

Let people store whatever they want at the curbside. Why give it to restaurant and car owners for free? Give it to everyone for free. Store bikes, cars, furniture, boats, trailers, Winnabegos, trucks, and garden supplies.
Enough of this special privilege for car owners.

Obamaker professulas don't believe in cars. Didn't they promise to emigrate to china as organ donors. Mao was right to poke their eyes out

Queens Carp, like all right-winger publications, only believe in free speech of it is speech they agree with.
Allowing comments a couple of weeks after the article is posted is a joke, just like this site.

I remember a time when I was a young child and I believed all adults were smart. The Dems have completely destroyed this childish belief.

Dems have big brass ones after screaming (literally) on TV for over 12 yrs: NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW. I guess in their Woke Universe it only applies to Republicans. Shame on them. Equal treatment under the law.

The quality of life has dropped dramatically in New York City.

At some point NYC will be forced BY REALITY to embrace their new third world status - hard-earned new status by Wilhelm and Andrew . You play Democrat games you win Democrat prizes.

Why should restaurants get all this public space for their businesses for free? Get rid of the sheds!

Anonymous said...

They look like nice places for masked New York hipsters to gather and rail about Trump, climate change, insurrection and abortion rights.

These Sheds look like a tribute to Tim Walz and his Men's rooms.

Its all about greed. In my 65 years I have yet to meet a restaurant or bar owner happy with the $$ he or she is making.
Its OK, they will all be out of business soon. Nobody will have money for restaurants. The next wave of people with money are leaving this rat, liberal, woke, illegal immigrant, criminal, sick infested mess called NYC. Cuomo about to be rewarded with re-election, honest people cant have guns to defend themselves because the ICE and the cop are not allowed to do there jobs. WTF has this become?
Mortgage rates are climbing, housing sales are headed to free fall, speculator house flippers are finished as the isles of Home Depot junk disappear. Con Ed Electric is going to skyrocket, especially for daytime users. They are going to change the standard metering rate to double the electric fee between hours 3-7PM on top of the standard over all increase.
Nobody with brains is gonna put up with this.
It will be time to relocate to a red state for people with cash.
