THIS IS YOUR BLOCK! West 80th Street Tree Committee Rusty Horn and Billy Amato ***NEW LAWS***
No Smoking in the City’s Parks and Beaches! On February 22, 2011, Mayor Bloomberg signed Local Law 11 of 2011, The West 80th Street Block Assoc. support this legislation because second hand smoke is a health problem for all New Yorkers but especially for families who have children with chronic asthma. Other cities have passed similar ordinances and CUNY just banned smoking on its campuses citywide. It is common sense legislation and in the long run will help New Yorkers become healthier, while reducing the amount of trash in parks and beaches. In addition to parks and beaches, the law specifically prohibits smoking in the following areas: pools, recreation centers and all other property, equipment, buildings and facilities under the jurisdiction of the Parks Department. The bill also prohibits smoking in pedestrian plazas, which are areas designated by the Department of Transportation for use as a plaza and are located within the bed of a roadway and may contain benches, tables or other facilities for a pedestrian to use. The ban does not include: the sidewalks immediately adjoining parks, squares and public places; any pedestrian route through any park strip, median or mall that is adjacent to vehicular traffic; parking lots; and actors in theatrical performances. The Parks Department is authorized to enforce this law, which is effective May 23, 2011, and may issue fines of $50 per violation or more. - Billy Amato
No Helicopters over the UWS ! Starting in February 2011 any tour helicopter flying over the city, not following the dedicated tour routes, or flying too low will be fined by the Economic Development Corporation (EDC). Fines will start at $100 and will be raised to $1000 by May. If you witness helicopters flying over the city or flying too low please call 311 and make a service complaint. As always make sure you give a description of the helicopters. The West 80th Block Assoc. is working with EDC to create literature to help residents identify the different tour helicopter companies. If you have any problems filing a complaint with 311, please contact Jesse Bodine, at 212-873-0282. - Billy Amato
2012 Alternate Side Parking (Street Cleaning) Rules Suspension Calendar
In many neighborhoods on the Upper West Side, people double park their cars for the duration of street cleaning, on the side of the street that is not being cleaned that day. This practice has always been technically illegal ("Double parking of passenger vehicles is illegal at all times, including street cleaning days, regardless of location, purpose or duration"--DOT). On West 80th Street the hours are now 11:AM - 12:30PM, however, double parking for the duration of street cleaning is openly tolerated by the authorities and CB7. If you double park your car or SUV/Van/Truck on West 80th Street for an extended period of time, it's very important that you leave some contact information displayed in your car, such as a piece of paper with your telephone number and address on the left side dashboard. This way any cars that you have blocked-in can call you so you can let them out.
