Most owners who live in the two-story houses and duplexes along 86th Street opposite the Dyker Heights Golf Course in Brooklyn face the same parking shortages as many other city drivers. But in December, when the neighborhood increases with visitors drawn to the extravagant Christmas decorations house after house, the parking problems become larger than life.
A month long parking ban, affecting most nights on two blocks of the south side of 86th Street, had instituted. The NYPD told the neighborhood that the regulations are meant to keep people safe as tour buses begin to stream through the neighborhood, but some drivers said the parking ban eliminates more than 100 spots they need on a daily basis.
The parking spaces are being cleared to make room for the tour buses that haul thousands of visitors from outside the city to behold the wonders of the neighborhood. So hopefully for the next holiday season, DiPi Parking Garage will alleviate the parking mess that comes around the holidays.
