new city pilot program doing away with parking on a residential street in Clinton Hill has residents already getting tow boots put on their cars and getting $185 tickets. Sharon Holliday, who lives in a brownstone on Greene Avenue between Cambridge Place and Grand Avenue, said she first became aware of the parking change when her son saw Department of Transportation workers installing signage in front of her home last Wednesday, July 17, reading, “No Parking Monday Through Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.” When her son asked the workers about the sign, he was told it came from orders up high, Holliday said.
