Months ago, CBS New York first reported on a greenway in Queens that was taken over by illegally parked cars. Authorities say they took steps to address the problem, but has it helped? CBS New York's Elle McLogan reports from Long Island City.

Vehicle has to have parking ticket first before getting legally towed. No ticket, no tow. That space is not (impeding) private property either so you can't just get a cop to write a ticket.

The first image they showed is a car with no plates, meaning its likely not even registered. Its not difficult to imagine there are many others like it, or they simply have fake or stolen plates. These people wont try to retrieve their cars, costing the city money to park them over the obligatory period theyre held.

Until a cop's personal car is towed. Or a local city councilman. Or a Karen with a politician husband. Or a tow truck driver is assaulted because he tows my car but leaves all the cars with MTA and NYPD vests on the dashboard. Orchard Beach went through something similar and it was clear the tow drivers were discriminating like crazy.

Could use a fence around the bike lane but emergency vehicles have it as a pathway when 41st Ave is clogged. Depending on the owners of those vehicles, Mayor Adams could have send them all to the Tow Pound and ask questions later.

@iamcase1245 25 күн бұрын

That would hurt Adams and the local City Councilman politically. 90% chance these cars belong to cops or city workers. Nowhere in NYC can you park illegally anywhere, let alone on GRASS in a PARK and not be towed within a few hours. These drivers are connected somehow. Look how one of the cars have no plates. The drivers are connected.
