Board 11 asks NYPD to find parking spaces for cops
The streets surrounding the 62nd Police Precinct are so jammed with cars that it’s hard for cops to find parking spaces when they arrive to begin a busy shift of protecting local residents from crime, according to Community Board 11 officials, who are trying to help the officers.
Board 11 Chairperson William Guarinello said his members are sympathetic to the cops’ plight. “They’re in a tough position,” he said at the community board’s June 14 meeting at the Bensonhurst Center for Rehabilitation and Health, 1740 84th St.
Guarinello said the community board will soon be sending a letter to the New York Police Department asking the NYPD to scout the area around the precinct for possible sites for off-street parking for cops, Guarinello said.
