Street Sweeping Sanitation Sanity

Those who live in the Big Apple and other large cities need to grapple with a shortage of parking places.

The problem is compounded several times a week when the City performs the alternate side street sweeping routine.

Years ago, the City alloted 3 hours for this task.

Some years ago, the city council voted to halve this time to 90 minutes.

Yet some sane senators in a recent AP article argue that double parking and idling of cars can be minimized if we allow cars to park immediately after the sanitation sweeper sweeps through.

They have my vote.
