"No Standing Anytime" zone
While our Wednesday morning volunteer gardens have tirelessly cleared and are in the process of beautifying the northeast entrance to the park, a problematic area of concern is the pedestrian entrance to the Brooklyn Bridge, past the northeast entrance to Cadman Plaza Park.
The DUMBO Neighborhood Alliance (DNA) successfully worked with Councilmember Lincoln Rester’s office to have DOT “reinstall” the “No Standing Anytime” signage. Yet in over three months of reporting the lack of enforcement to both the NYPD 84th precinct and Councilmember Restler’s office, there continues to be no resolution. The concessions at this site, with motors running, have created a chronic and a potentially extremely dangerous situation. It is illegal for concession trucks to park in a "No Standing Anytime" zone and we expect enforcement at this favorite tourist destination. The Conservancy will advocate that the “No Standing Anytime” signage begins at the beginning of the stone underpass and Cadman Plaza Park ensuring that the northeast entrance to the park and the pedestrian entrance to the Brooklyn Bridge is visible, open, welcoming and accessible.
