These vehicles are parked in the SEZ for the 13th precinct. This SEZ, like most in this city, is WAY too small to hold all the vehicles it needs too.

Like I've said before, lets move the sidewalk in to half it's current size, make the entire block angle parking only, and make both sides NYPD and ESU only. This should make everyone happy. It would still leave room for pedestrians, and add valuable "legal" parking spaces to the SEZ.

While doing this for all precincts would be expensive, I feel that it is infact a very fair compromise for both the City and private citizens.

Another wasted picture taken by nycjustice. The sidewalk look pretty big to double park the cars on. So what is the problem?

They don't see it that way 14feet. All they see is a police car parking on the sidewalk and they can't do it. This web site mostly posts only comments that agree with this web site.

So the next time that you call the police, don't get upset that it took the police a long time to respond, becuase it took them a lot of time trying to find their cars!

parking that way allows the police to be more efficient. parking that way allowed the NYPD to lower response times, no need to worry about other parked cars when pulling out, that saves valuable minutes and lives. would you have those emergency vehicles parked in a manor that allows them to be boxed in?

before you criticize, try walking a mile in your victim's shoes.
