One of the areas that will be part of a new city test of increasing parking meter rates at peak times is Midwood. “The program’s goal is to increase turnover in curbside parking spaces in the test areas — a section of Greenwich Village in Manhattan and a stretch of Kings Highway and adjacent streets in the Midwood neighborhood of Brooklyn — so that drivers will spend less time cruising in search of an open space, according to the transportation commissioner, Janette Sadik-Khan.”–NYT
