One of 2 Press vehicles blocking Centre Street Bike Lane and bicycle access to the Brooklyn Bridge.
Hard to squeeze by with the buses, as you can see.

Another Fox 5 employee parking all day near the studio in violation of their expired press placard enjoying the east 68th street free FOX 5 employee parking lot. He just blends right in with the rest of the scofflaws.

FOX 5's distinguished ethical shame on you reporter Arnold Diaz setting a fine example of civil duty and his sense of right and wrong and the American way.

NYP parking for more than 3 hours in a NO PARKING zone around the corner from the studio, not actively covering a news story at the location of the news assigment and not in the dedicated NYP zone across the street.

NYP parking for more than 3 hours in a NO PARKING zone around the corner from the studio, oit actively covering a news story at the location of the news assigment and nit in the dedicated NYP zone across the street.

this is a fox news satellite truck parked on the corner of Nassau st-Broad Street blocking the entire sidewalk next to Federal Hall.

Press placards are used by FOX 5 employees as free reserved parking permits for their daily commute into the city.

East 68th Street is a cesspool of parking abuse, There is even an ex-police commissioner who uses this street as his free eternal parking lot.

NYP and MD's even a dentist from NJ gets free street parking at resident inconvenience and expense.

Community board 8, the DOT already surveyed this street and indicated it was residential and that it could be retuned to the residents as curbside parking. All you have to do is give the OK,

NYPD and enforcement is not going to clear this street of cars and it has nothing to do with freeing the street for the bus. Lets start setting things right and return all abused restricted parking areas to the community.

Blatant placard abuse is rampant on East 68th Street and only a block from the 19th precinct.

Once again I ask community board 8 to act on a resident request to return this street to normal street parking,

The signage has no purpose other than resticting the residents from parking thus reserving spaces for commuting scofflaws.

Might as well rename east 68th Street between Second and Third Avenue as the FOX 5 parking lot and damn the rules zone.

Again a placard expired for over two months and even if the placard was valid this is in violation of placard use rules.

I ask community board 8 to act in a recent request to return this street to normal alternate side parking. All the NO PARKING sign is doing is preventing honest law abiding local residents from parking in their own neigborhood and prviding a haven for scofflaws,

All abused restricted parking areas must be returned to the community as normal curbside parking areas.

The community board tells me enforcement will take care of this problem, yet they were told by the NYPD and enforcement that they are unable to deal with placarded cars due to the technical three hour time issue.

The problem is that NYP must be actively engaged in covering a news assignment at the actual location of the assignment so they are in violation of they park here for 10 seconds.

East 68th street has become the Rupert Murdoch memorial parking lot providing free street parking for FOX 5 employees at resident inconvenience and expense.

The street must be returned to alternate side parking to provide the residends with desperately needed curbside parking in their neighborhood.

Here is a prime example of the lack of enforcement regarding placarded cars. The placard doesn't even have to be valid.

Here we have another employee of FOX 5 abusing his "EXPIRED" press placard. He is around the corner from FOX and not at the location of a news assignment he is actively covering.

FOX 5 is a horrible neighbor and abuses the residents of the community on a daily basis,

Representatives from FOX 5 told the transportation committee of community board 8 a week ago that they would get this under control and agred such parking was not permitted based on the rules stated on the press placards.

The fact is that the only way to deal with this is to pull the rug out from under them and return the street and any abused restricted parking street to the community as normal street parking.

The signage in manhattan is meaningless. If the sign indicates NO PARKING EXPEPT TRUCKS LOADING AND UNLOADING the NYPD parks there as they do at parking meters without dropping as much as a dime. If the signs indicate NO PARKING, The NYP, MD's, DDs and other placard holders park there.

So exactly what is restricted parking other than free reserved street parking for the politically connected and morally corrupt, and all at resident inconvenience and expense.

Mayor Bloomberg when do you do the right thing for the residents of the community? Perhaps you and the police commissioner need some private councilling on the concept of right and wrong and a little tutoring on ethics!

Community board 8 please act on the recent resident request to return this street to normal street parking and do the same in all abused restricted parking areas.

Commuters are supposed to be encouraged to use mass transit, Why would they do so if the city is providing them with free reserved street parking right where they work?

Witness here a Fox 5 employee, parking his personal transportation vehicle, not a news gathering vehicle in a NO PARKING 7AM-7PM EXCEPT SUNDAY area on a Monday, right in front of the FOX studios, He is not engaged in actively covering a news story at the scene of said story and beyond that parking all day not the 3 hours,

This is an everyday event and enforcement just walks on by. Put a placard on your dash, and you are immune, the hell with what the placard allows,

Press placards are used by FOX 5 employees as free parking placards for their daily commute into the city,

Expired NY Press placard that apparently is illegible to color blind law enforcement for over two months.
In addition the car is parked for more than the three hours permitted by signage, actually for days. Must have been a hell of a story, probably a trilogy with a sequel and a redux.

Just Checked March 2 2007 and the car is still there.

Just checked again March 14, 2007 and the car is still there, This is supposed to be a 3 hour time limit zone, 24 hours a day.

Fox 5 shame on you reporter Arnold Diaz parked in a NO PARKING 7AM - 7 PM Except Sunday zone for more than 3 hours, in close proximety to Fox 5 studios; Not actually engaged in covering a news story at the location of assignment and not in the designated NYP three hour parking zone provided by the DOT across the street.

Arnold frequenty shames himself by either parking on East 67th Street or East 68th Street in NO PARKING areas, for more than three hours. Perhaps he can do a story about his own disregard for the law and his NYP placard priviledge and thus actually cover a news story at the location of said story.

Shame on you Arnold, you are a disingenuous reporter and a world class hypocrite.
