Over the past few years we have seen an ever increasing presence of Traffic Enforcement officers in our Community. On any given day there may be more than 4 officers patrolling our small community and issuing summons after summons to local shoppers and merchants, with summonses ranging from $45 to over $60 causing people to not come back. We are pleading with the NYC Police Dept, Traffic Division and Local Politicians to step up and work with our community to stop this escalating problem from destroying our livelihood and encourage visitors to our community vs hurting them.

I have been meeting with local merchants this week to document exactly how these summonses are driving customers away from our storefronts. Please send a quick email to your city council representative today to demand a reduction in patrol frequency on Arthur Avenue.

The momentum behind this push is real and it shows how many people are fed up with these unfair traffic fines. Post this link on your Facebook page right now and email your local rep to demand a change in enforcement policy.

They wait for you to go to the meter to pay and write you a ticket while you are putting money in the meter. When questioned as to why they wrote you a ticket while you were putting money in the machine to get your ticket, the response is well there isn't a ticket in the window now.. Disgusting!!!
abuse daily... non stop ...3 and 4 officers at a time... and I own a business there is constantly am getting hit
This is to much nobody can afford to shop there anymore . While people are shopping they are giving ticket after ticket !!
They even issues summonses with you in the car while you are stopped.
Coming to Arthur Avenue is an experience. First the traffic! Takes about 25 minutes from the Bronx River or white plains road to arrive to 187th. Thanks to our beloved DMV and moving violations which destroyed all our homes on Cambreleng Avenue and cause all the traffic in the neighborhood. Another 20 minutes to find parking. No free parking, no parking spots and not enough parking lots. When you finally find a metered spot Better put 2 hours because Batman is on the right and Robin on the left walking up and down making sure the moment your time is up they are there to give a fine. I love this neighborhood. However, our Community leaders have done nothing to make life easier for the residents and the visitors. This is a great neighborhood but living here has become increasingly more difficult. and no one is doing anything to improve our quality of life. Too many meters where are the residents suppose to park?
Please,fixed the machine on 187 there are 3of them not working
We do not have any more free parking.....all the neighborhood has been metered. .....the City of NY should be ashamed! This neighborhood is the shopping heart of the Bronx.

Good honest people work and shop here and they know that they will pay the fine. Tickets in other neighborhoods go unpaid. It's so obvious when the traffic officers come in groups, all day long, it looks like a raid. This is a good way to ruin a good neighborhood.
