End the Ban on Overnight Parking in White Plains

I believe that the ban of over night parking is the right thing to do

We should do what Harrison has done and allow residents to get overnight parking permits. Or outright get rid of the archaic rule of no overnight parking.

If the mayor and common council care as much as they claim to about making housing affordable, allowing residents to park on streets overnight is a simple way to decrease the cost of living for those in the mostly older (and therefore more affordable) residential buildings without parking. Annual municipal parking permit fees range from about $715 (for surface lots) to $1,540 for garages. For those who cannot pay the annual fee, monthly rates are even more costly. Furthermore, not everyone lives near a municipal lot or garage (and some lots are are full and waitlisted!), which forces those residents to walk a distance between homes and car. This is not possible for everyone nor is it always safe (and never convenient). It's time for the city to stop extorting its residents. City Hall needs to lighten up on its parking policies and predatory enforcement on all fronts, as the daytime parking enforcement deters people from shopping or dining downtown.

I agree, lived on barker, had to park at the old white plains mall. My husband is disabled and it was a nightmare.

People should be allowed to park on public streets.

End it now!

It is impossible to have a guest stay over

To many illegal housing in the area that I live in (battle hill) and I believe that it would cause a lot more illegal housing. If you have a guest staying overnight, call the police to inform them. It’s always worked for me.

At least allow residents to park overnight with a permit. I know I lost offers on my apartment due to the lack of parking.

When you tax a citizen to live somewhere and that money goes towards roadways and then restricting that access with double taxation via parking tickets. It’s illegal and downright counter to the government’s role in society.

I completely agree with all your points. This old fashion law should be banned. The city should run a test for a few months to a year to see how the city is effected and then reevaluate the law.

I have guests who stay overnight and it's a nightmare to find a spot.

Living at 1 Broad Parkway, not a lot of easy options. Nearest lots have waiting list

We need to be able park on the street.

We need street parking overnight in white plains!

This is a racket

I don't understand the logic why can't I park overnight in white plains NY

I am a lifelong resident of White Plains & the 3rd generation of family that opposes this racket! It is a CASH GRAB pure & simple! I've heard all of the reasons the city gives for this ordinance but we all know better...huge revenue vs decades long huge issue for residents....BOTTOM LINE - revenue wins!! I do love this city & I realize not every resident agrees w/on street parking (largely those who live in houses & have parking) but it is outrageous that to park on the street you call home...it will cost $25 per car, per night & that's if you can pay b4 it goes up in price! And if you have multiple tickets that accrue maximum charge = after a period of time your car will be booted!! If you are a resident & don't have parking for whatever reason & can't afford $25 a night & have to worry about what to do with your car from 2am -6am WHAT are you supposed to do?? If you have small children, if you are elderly or handicapped - I mean the list goes on!! And God forbid you have company staying over!!! Correcting this issue is way BEYOND OVERDUE - the ordinance is almost 75yrs old! Seems prejudicial in nature as well to have your city basically tell you if you can't afford to park where you live - then you can't afford to live here.

Please note my contact address has changed to the 75 w 238 th st apt 4d Bronx NY 10463 cell phone 917 8805432 [email protected] Please be informed that I walked up and down the street looking for some sign that you had restricted parking during certain hours. The side that I parked on was legal according to your conspicuous signs; you had a street parking restriction in the morning from Monday to Friday. The only othe restriction. I believe a city of Political LEADERSHIP has the moral duty to place signs in a conspicuous place especially near the part of restriction. After videoing the street and the streets nearby no signs were restricting early morning parking. I called the court clerk Office and I was told that the signs are at the city entrance. So I drove by the circle to enter White Plains three or 4 times in each lane and with great danger; finally with much risk to an accident while driving I had to read quickly and drive by very slowly to almost obstruct traffic in order to properly view a remote sign on curb For me this is not a legal conspicuous place to set an ordinance where fines are being given out. Non conspicuous notification and a driving danger to read. I will plead not guilty, write to the legislature, and the Governor and the Senator and complain about the moral and legal standing for this ordinance unless every street sign be modified to contain the restriction. The law to be just can not hide without clear disclosure, conspi
