One of the issues that Park Slope residents have raised during the Great Park Slope Alternate Side Parking Experiment, which is coming to an end on July 14, is that it has led to a lot of clogged catch basins. While the general “filth” in the street argument may be overblown, there appears to be some truth to the catch basin issue which, in turn, has helped cause a lot of street flooding to recent major downpours. Here’s some evidence from one of the recent storms of what’s accumulated in one such spot. Everything changes on July 14.

So Park Slope residents think that somehow parking has something to do with litter? And on July 14th people will start parking normally again and that will wake them up to all of a sudden stop littering? If I stop littering will people also stop honking at 7am? If you want a car, move to the suburbs. That’s where you belong, with your strollers.
