Why is it necessary to move cars 4 times a week for street cleaning? There are many nearby neighborhoods in which the residence are only required to move their cars only twice weekly, and these blocks are perpendicular to major business zones.

I can't find a parking space now because people from other areas as well as other cities are coming into my community early mornings and parking on my street and taking the subway into the city for work. There should most definitely be parking permit but not just for the Barclays Center area. It's a city wide problem and should be addressed ASAP. One day I could plenty of parking the next there was nothing. This happened better than a year ago. 671 St. John's Place Brooklyn, 11216 Never mind the Barklays Center.

According to the Empire State Development Corporation, when the Center opens next year, up to an estimated 3,000 cars will look for parking in the surrounding neighborhood for each of the 220 events happening there each year. Aside from the inconvenience to residents looking for parking themselves, this will create traffic congestion and, more importantly, dangerous conditions. With Atlantic Avenue already Brooklyn's most dangerous road, vehicular, bicycle, and pedestrian accidents will increase from the added strain, especially with so many drivers unfamiliar with the area. By enacting legislation to create residential parking permits, there will be a disincentive to drive, which will benefit all the parties involved in a number of ways. Fewer spots outside of the stadium will mean higher profits for the stadium itself if it charges for parking. It will mean higher profits for the MTA, as more people will take public transportation, which also benefits the environment. And of course, it will benefit the residents by keeping our streets less congested and safer. I hope that you will see the importance of this issue.
