NYC Suspends Alternate Side Parking Through Sunday

NEW YORK CITY — Alternate side parking will be suspended through Sunday as the city continues to clean its streets and remove snow left from the recent winter storm.

The suspension will be extended another six days — an earlier suspension by Mayor Zohran Mamdani last week was supposed to end on Monday.

Parking meter rules will remain in effect during the suspension, according to the city's Department of Transportation.

Officials have called on New Yorkers to clear snow from their vehicles before temperatures drop below freezing again later in the week.

When alternate side parking is suspended, drivers are still required to observe all other posted parking restrictions and regulations, according to the DOT.

"This weekend presents a moderate to high excessive cold threat to life and property," the Department of Emergency Management wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

Life-Threatening Cold Returns

Thursday brings sunny skies but little warmth, with a high near 31 degrees and wind chill values again dipping into the teens and 20s. Temperatures will fall back to around 19 degrees on Thursday night, according to the National Weather Service.

Friday remains cold, with a high near 30 degrees. Clouds increase Friday night, when there is a 50 percent chance of snow showers. Overnight lows are expected to drop to around 16 degrees, meteorologists from the National Weather Service said.

Forecasters didn't say how much snow could be expected, two days out.

Saturday will be blustery and cold, with mostly cloudy skies early giving way to some sun later in the day. Highs will struggle to reach the low 20s. Clear skies Saturday night will allow temperatures to plunge to around 6 degrees.

The cold continues into Sunday, with mostly sunny skies and a high near 18 degrees. Overnight lows will hover around 10 degrees, forecasters said.
