City officials and others are reconsidering how New Yorkers store their cars.

Every inch of curb space in this crowded city is precious. So why are we giving so much of it away for free?

The city is zeroing in on an overlooked contributor to the housing crisis. We’re talking about parking minimums, which have been a thorn in New York City developers’ side since the 1950s. Parking garages drive up the cost of their projects but usually don’t produce a return, so developers have to charge more for their […]

The city is now facing a major civil rights suit from the Biden Administration if it doesn't eliminate illegal parking by cops and other city workers.

Adhering to parking mandates forces us to live in a world shaped by men like Robert Moses, one that prioritizes cars above all else. But the time is now to reshape that world — New York needs to ca…

The real cost of all this traffic

There are more cars but fewer available spots on the street. There are fewer garages — and exorbitant prices. For city drivers, it’s a growing headache.

Zoning reforms could address several of New York City’s issues, but experts say Mayor Eric Adams may need to ask for more to get affordable housing results.

Lifting parking mandates citywide will create a ripple effect of livability for New York City — spurring more affordable housing, cleaning air, safer streets, and more vibrant communities.

The fight over congestion pricing gets at something so very much bigger.

The installations, which aim to eliminate sidewalk trash mountains and rat populations, are part of a pilot program announced this May and are modeled after European-style shared street bins.

Civil violations like littering or idling could be subject to sliding-scale fines under a City Council bill aimed at easing the affordability crisis.

After the deadly collapse of a parking structure in lower Manhattan, New York City building officials swept through dozens of parking garages and ordered four of them to immediately shutter because of structural defects that “deteriorated to the point where they were now posing an immediate threat to public safety.”

New York City plans to spend more than $10 billion on a project that will speed up climate change and increase the number of New Yorkers killed by traffic and pollution. The good news is that the city will hold meetings so the public can comment on the plan, which is rebuilding the Brooklyn–Queens Expressway (BQE).

Demolition work began this week on a Lower East Side park that is a focal point in the tension between the community and developers on the waterfront. The
