 NO PARKING

 minimum parking requirements

 Borough President  
 Antonio Reynoso and  
 northern Brooklyn Councilmember  
 Lincoln Restler  
 are demanding an  
 end to minimum parking  
 requirements for new  
 construction  in  transitrich  
 areas.  
 When  a  developer  
 seeks a rezoning to build  
 taller  developments,  
 they’re often forced to  
 build off-street parking  
 — which is designed to reduce  
 the impact that new  
 construction has on parking  
 in the neighborhood.  
 But now, the group  
 of  electeds  signed  a  petition  
 letter calling on the  
 Department of City Planning  
 (DCP) to fully waive  
 parking constraints for  
 all residential developers  
 of any rezoning projects  
 in  public  transit-rich  areas. 
 The  representatives  
 aim to disincentivize people  
 living in areas with  
 access to subways and  
 buses from using and  
 buying cars, with the intention  
 to reduce carbon  
 emissions and improve  
 the “borough’s urban fabric” 
  — all while providing  
 developers  with  the  
 option to redirect space  
 toward construction of  
 more affordable housing,  
 said Restler in an exclusive  
 to  the  Brooklyn  paper. 
 “The accessory parking  
 in  buildings  on  key  
 mixed-use corridors like  
 Fourth Avenue, Flatbush  
 Avenue, and Fulton  
 Street disrupt our borough’s  
 urban fabric, making  
 our City less affordable, 
  less walkable, and  
 incentivizes car ownership,” 
  read the electeds’  
 letter  to  the  DCP.  “The  
 last place we need developers  
 to build accessory  
 parking  is  in  areas with  
 substantial access to public  
 transportation. We  
 need  to  reduce  car  ownership  
 in our city, and  
 requiring new parking  
 within close proximity to  
 public transit has the opposite  
 effect.” 
 Restler pointed to one  
 28-unit rising project just  
 outside the Bedford subway  
 station, which includes  
 14  required  parking  
 spots on the ground  
 level — saying that, in addition  
 to other problems,  
 such requirements often  
 make the construction  
 “drab, dark, and lifeless.”  
 “Because below-grade  
 parking is so expensive  
 to construct, many developments  
 across the city  
 do so on the ground-fl oor,  
 leading to drab, dark, lifeless  
 streets” said a statement  
 from Restler on  
 Monday. 
 Even though there are  
 many businesses around  
 the crossroad of Bedford  
 Ave. and North Seventh  
 Street, it is not confi rmed  
 that the new building will  
 have commercial spaces. 
 Within slightly over 2  
 square miles, Williamsburg  
 residents have access  
 to the four bus lines  
 and seven subway stations. 
 “This is an example of  
 an area that doesn’t need  
 more parking, doesn’t  
 need more cars, for sure,”  
 said Reynoso. “So it’s a  
 model development for  
 us to use as a fi rst  shot  
 at showing people that  
 parking requirements  
 should  not  be  used  here.  
 Also, I think the most important  
 thing  is  that  the  
 parking requirements being  
 removed,  allows  for  
 more housing to be built.  
 It makes the projects less  
 expensive.  It  also makes  
 it  so  that  instead  of  taking  
 down, you can build  
 up, so we got more housing  
 out of this proposal.” 
 As  the  city  bounces  
 back from the COVID  
 pandemic, real estate  
 prices and housing demand  
 have been restored  
 and continue to rise. 
 “A lot of the pushback  
 that  we  get  from  developers  
 over how much affordable  
 housing they  
 can build is that they  
 have to build out these  
 spaces for cars, that could  
 be spaces for people, but  
 it’s a requirement by  
 law,” said Reynoso. “So I  
 guess there’s an assumption  
 that instead of parking  
 there will be housing. 
  How much affordable  
 housing would really depend  
 on who’s negotiating  
 the project as a councilmember  
 and where  
 and how much of it is a  
 part of Mandatory Inclusionary  
 Housing. So it’s  
 not it’s not so cut and dry.  
 But it should make it less  
 expensive to build.” 
 PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY WARNING! 
 DID YOU KNOW... 
 The most common method your  
 doctor will recommend to treat your  
 neuropathy is with prescription drugs...  
 which only reduce your symptoms? 
 These types of drugs, over time, may  
 cause you to feel uncomfortable and  
 have a variety of harmful side effects 
 Peripheral Neuropathy is actually a  
 result of DAMAGE to the Nerves... 
 Most Commonly caused by a lack of  
  
 to degeneration of the nerves. 
 As you can see in Figure 1, as the  
 blood vessels that surround nerves  
 begin to “die” they cause you to have  
 balance problems, pain, numbness,  
 tingling, burning, and many additional  
 symptoms. 
 Nerve images 
 Figure 1: When these very small blood  
 vessels become diseased they begin  
 to shrivel up and the nerves begin to  
 degenerate. 
 The low level light therapy is like  
 watering a plant. The light therapy will  
 allow the blood vessels to grow back  
 around the peripheral nerves and provide  
 them with the proper nutrients to heal  
 and repair. It’s like adding water to a  
 plant an seeing the roots grow deeper  
 and deeper. 
 In order to effectively treat  
 your neuropathy three factors  
 must be determined. 
 1) What is the underlying cause? 
 2) How Much Nerve Damage 
 3) How much treatment will your  
 condition require? 
 ONLY a Detailed Neurological and  
 Vascular Evaluation can determine the  
 amount of treatment needed for each  
 person...
