Overview
- The Department of Transportation said enforcement resumes Thursday, requiring drivers to move vehicles so sweepers can access curbs.
- Rules return after a suspension that began Jan. 26 following a major snowstorm that left more than a foot of snow on city streets.
- A prolonged cold snap froze snow and debris in place, trapping some cars and worsening street conditions.
- Warmer weather has begun melting accumulations, yet piles of litter and pet waste still cover many blocks.
- The DOT noted this pause was not unprecedented, citing a three-month suspension in 1978 during winter storms.
