Gentile demands traffic agents back off
Double parking is illegal. But is it okay if it’s being done by a parent dropping off a child at school?
Councilman Vincent Gentile (D-Bay Ridge-Bensonhurst) said yes, it is.
Gentile is putting a spotlight on what he said is a ticket blitz being conducted by overzealous traffic enforcement agents in his district. The agents can’t tell the difference between a parent double parking for a few seconds to drop off a child at school and a reckless motorist double parking because they don’t care about safety on the roadway, according to Gentile.
