The city Department of Transportation will hold workshops to address concerns about the mayor's congestion pricing plan turning some outlying neighborhoods into parking lots.
"The workshops will be the basis for DOT to potentially develop plans to address any “park and ride” activity if such impacts result from congestion pricing in areas near subway stations and transit hubs outside the charging zone," a statement said.
NEIGHBORHOOD PARKING WORKSHOP SCHEDULE - FIRST ROUND:
Upper East Side, Manhattan: Nov. 19
Atlantic/4th/Flatbush Avenues Area, Brooklyn: Nov. 27
Central Harlem, Manhattan: Nov. 28
Forest Hills, Queens: Nov. 29
Long Island City, Queens: Nov. TBD
Meetings also will be held in January in the Yankee Stadium area of the Bronx and in the Brooklyn Heights/Boerum Hill/Fort Greene sections of Brooklyn.
