The area surrounding the
Morris Park Esplanade subway
station will be a whole lot
cleaner within the next few
months, it was announced.
According to Community
Board 11, the NYC Department
of Transportation has
informed the board that alternate
side parking signs will be
installed within 90 days, per
an email that was sent by the
agency last week.
Alternate side parking is
set to take place on Tuesdays
from 8:30 to 10 a.m. on Esplanade
Avenue from Paulding
Avenue to the end of the Woodmansten
Place steps, next to
the Morris Park #5 IRT subway
station.
Back in October, CB 11
passed a motion to enforce alternate
side parking at the
problematic location to solve
two primary issues - littering
and the storing of vehicles
along the strip.
The new plan is expected to
alleviate both situations.
According to DOT parking
regulations, a vehicle cannot
be parked for more than
one week at the same location,
with or without alternate side

parking in effect, or it is considered
a stored vehicle. After
a week, the vehicle is subject
to being towed.
The 49th Precinct keeps a
log of how long vehicles have
been parked on Esplanade Avenue.
If they see that a car is
parked in the same spot for
a week or longer, they will
schedule to have that vehicle
towed.
Another sanitation issue
involves street debris, which
the board feels is being generated
by the people that frequent
the area by car and use
the surrounding streets as a
dumping ground.
According to the NYC Department
of Sanitation, alternate
side parking is not yet
in effect in this area, as DOS
is still working with the DOT
to implement street cleaning
regulation and install alternate
side parking street signs
on that stretch of Esplanade
Avenue.
“This has been an ongoing
battle for the past ten years,”
said Tommy Salera, an Esplanade
Avenue resident.
“Streets along the Grand Concourse
and neighborhoods
in the west Bronx have alternate
side parking four days a
week and their streets are always
clean. Why do I have to
walk out of my house to look
at a littered and garbage-fi lled
street?”
CB 11 has received numerous
complaints from residents
concerning both littering and
car storage.
“There’s no silver bullet
for this scenario - but it will
certainly help correct both issues,”
said Jeremy Warneke,
district manager of CB11.
Warneke also described another
trash clogging situation
- backed up catch basins.
Some of them overfl ow during
heavy rains because of the
amount of garbage fl owing
into them. One example of the
fl ooding occurs a few blocks
north of the train station, on
Pelham Parkway South and
Haight Avenue. The catch basins
in that area frequently
back up due to the large volume
of litter and debris clogging
the sewer line.The fl ooding
problem is most evident
on the Pelham Parkway South
service road.
