Alternate Side Parking Regulations
Here’s a copy of the Alternate Side Parking Regulations notice posted on the NYC Website:
“Alternate Side Parking Regulations are suspended through Sunday, June 28, 2020. All other parking rules remain in effect.
ASP regulations will be back in effect beginning on June 29th, however, residential streets will not be cleaned more than once a week.
Through Labor Day, on residential streets with ASP signs that show multiple days, street cleaning rules will apply only to the last day of the week posted on the sign.
For example, if the ASP sign says the street is cleaned on Mondays and Thursdays, you only have to move your car on Thursday.
Daily sweeping regulations on commercial streets or metered areas will not change.
The City will assess cleanliness conditions throughout the summer. To decide whether to extend or modify the new rules after Labor Day.

Open Streets
When ASP is in effect on an Open Street, vehicles should leave the street and may return after ASP is over. If barriers are in place, they should be set up in a way that cars can drive around them. While driving in and out of the street, please watch for pedestrians and travel at 5 MPH.
Parking Tickets
Any New Yorker under isolation who has received a ticket can request a hearing with the Department of Finance and should provide medical documentation or testimony, which will be taken into consideration when their case is reviewed
Commentary
Learn the asp rules and applications.
Be safe!
It says no more than once a week . My street has a Mon/Thurs side and a Tues/Fri side , so we will get cleaned twice a week ? Thursday and Friday or just Friday ?
thanks for all the Info Larry
Hi Steve,
Good afternoon. Great question.
The notice does not answer your question. If it was me, I would plan to move my car two times per week (on Thursday and Friday) for the first week of the change. After we see whether your street is cleaned one time or two times, we’ll know the answer.
In the meantime, I’m going to ask your excellent question on the NYC ASP regulation twitter account. I’ll let you know if I get an answer.
Be safe,
Larry
Each side is different and independent.Thursday one side, Friday the other!
Hey Douglas,
Thanks so much for your helpful reply to Steve!
Regards,
Larry
PS…It helps all of us!
My understanding is that the last two days on the sign will be the new ASP days. So in your case the new ASP days will be Thursday and Friday. BTW, deBlasio is still describing this change as a trial to be evaluated.
Hi Dan,
Great to hear from you and your valuable comments, as always!
(Yes, another pilot program for Parking Ticket Land).
Be safe,

This is more about being able to reduce DSNY headcount through attrition than anything else. Less ASP, fewer sweeper crews required. But how will deBlasio make up the lost revenue?
My first thought was that deBlasio would expand ASP to areas (like S.I. and eastern Queens) that never had it. But that would keep him from reducing DSNY headcount. My guess is that ASP parking fines will increase to make up for reduced ASP.
Hi,
I’m new to this ASP deal, and I’m not sure if I’m ok leaving my car where it is, as the street sign only has one day.
I saw on this on the DOE website…
“Streets that have just one day of ASP regulations on each side will not change.” Will not change? Does that mean that the “suspension” is only for streets that have 2 days on each side?
thank you!
My wife and I, my dog and cat are moving to Seattle.
I won’t be able to reply to comments until after October 1, 2020.
Sorry!
Regards,
Larry
