Continued defiance by the NYPD and FD clearly in violation of placard parking regulations despite a request by community board 8m to cease and desist.

This kind of crap is exactly what this site is highlighting and could not be more clear than this example. The situation has been brought to the attention of Council member Daniel Garodnick over three years ago and many times to community board 8m. The DOT has looked at the situation and declared the NO STANDING ANYTIME SIGNS to be appropriate. The DOT parking placard guidelines clearly state that placard parking is not permitted in NO STANDING ANYTIME zones.

Parked illegally in the bike lane / (bike lane transfer through intersection)

Placard parking is not permitted in NO STANDING ANYTIME zones. This blatant abuse has been going on for years and was reported to the local City Council Member Garodnick, the local Community Board #8, the local Precinct Commander of the 19th and to the Commander of Manhattan North as well as Margaret Forgione of the DOT.

The community board resolved weeks ago to write to the NYPD yet the situation remains. Both the commander of Manhattan North and the 19th are aware of the issue and are defiant in their uncivil behavior.

That large truck bore an FDNY placard and had out of state plates.

This USPS employee apparently has no problem affording an Audi, a house in the Hamptons, and ski trips (judging from the ski box on the roof). But when it comes to parking, the owner shuns the for-pay garage across from the post office and parks illegally in a "No Standing Anytme" zone.

Everyday there are about a dozen private cars double parked at this entry way to Central Park, with permits issued to the Transit Bureau District.

This spot next to my favorite illegal sidewalk shed may be marked "no stopping" because DOT is afraid the shed (and building?) will fall on the street at any moment. :-)

(We've been here before, most recently with this guy from the U.S. Parks Police: http://nyc.uncivilservants.org/post/index/1002)

Whatever DOT's reason, it's completely undermined by the routine use of this spot by assorted placarded and official vehicles.

So, while it may be possible to imagine what official business the US Parks Police would have in this gritty section of downtown Brooklyn, it seems like a stretch. Even then, no permit allows parking in No Stopping.

How many ways has this guy got it wrong? His restricted permit indicates he's from the 30th pct. on 155th Street, so what's he doing here on 83rd? He's in a no standing anytime zone, which the permit would not let him park in even on West 155th Street. The permit's expired, and he's written in two different plate numbers (all but first letter obscured).

I didn't have the time go wipe the snow off each of these cars' windshields to photo the placard numbers, but based on the consistent illegal parking and double parking I see here (http://nyc.uncivilservants.org/post/index/493), I suspect these are all NYPD Transit Bureau restricted placard holders. The black Mercedes without snow on it or a front plate was not moving--it was triple parked. There was another, identical black mercedes right behind it (roof barely visible)--also triple parked. This portion of Columbus Circle, built to accomodate 5 lanes of traffic, was reduced to 2, and both lanes feeding from the Circle into Central Park West were blocked.

Here is a shot of 7 or 8 cars, some parked in the "No Stopping Anytime" curbside zone, other double parked adjacent to them. This causes congestion for everyone trying to get through Columbus Circle, and endangers bicyclists proceeding north from the 8th Avenue to the Central Park West bike lane, by limiting them to one shared lane with motor vehicles. The plate and permit info reflect the car in the foreground.
