If you “received a summons for parking on the Cross Bay Boulevard median on the morning of Saturday, May 5 …”, says Pete Mahon, “[you] should make it a point to be present at the Civic Association meeting [on Thursday] May 24 in order to ascertain what, if anything, can be done to void or otherwise dismiss these tickets.”
As Civic Association President Dan Mundy Jr. e-mailed shortly after the incident, “I spoke with Captain Olexa, the 100th Precinct commanding officer, today after receiving notice of the ticket blitz for residents who were parked on the center mall. The Captain called the Traffic Department, separate from the 100 Precinct, and spoke with the highest ranking officer available, a lieutenant, and informed him of [our] situation.”
As Pete Mahon updates on the West 12th Block Association website, “Dan … has indicated that he is attempting to arrange for the Commanding Officer of the Queens Traffic Division to attend … the Civic Association meeting this month to discuss the rash of parking violations issued by his staff during the recent “Super Moon” high tides and accompanying street flooding.”
Hopefully the BC Civic Association meeting, which starts at 7:30 p.m. at the VFW Hall on Shad Creek Road, will bring about a swift and fair resolution to this issue. Please be there and support our community.
For the past few years, there has been an agreement that Broad Channel residents could park on the central mall on Cross Bay Boulevard when a high moon tide hit that island community, flooding many of the east-west streets. During the moon tide last week, parking enforcement agents gave out dozens of tickets, violating the agreement. Now, it seems, even though 100 Precinct CO Captain Scott Olexa asked that the tickets be voided, officials at the parking bureau have balked. We will see what happens when the problem gets resolved.
