I'm confused about the actual rules for Sunday parking these days since Bloomberg has changed things a few times since he's been in office. The questions are:
1. Is metered parking FREE on Sundays unless it says you need to pay?
2. For the "muni-meter" parking, which I see a lot of in the mid 30's either on the Avenue or on the street, is that also FREE on Sundays unless it says you need to pay?
Sorry it's just really confusing. I asked an NYC cop this Sunday on the street, and she had no idea, so there you go...
According to the DOT website you do not have to pay parking meters/muni on Sundays, even if the sign says you do. Apparently, many haven't been changed.
The New York City Department of Transportation announced today that in accordance with legislation enacted by the City Council, beginning Sunday, November 13, 2005, parking meters and muni-meters no longer have to be paid on Sundays. The Department of Transportation is in the process of changing signs throughout the city to reflect this new parking rule but it will take some time before the thousands of parking signs can be updated. Despite what is stated on these signs, motorists can park at meters on Sundays without paying.
Yeah you don't have to pay for street parking on Sunday anymore, but ever since they lifted that post-9/11 paying for street parking rule, the parking situation has gone downhill.
When that rule was in force it was really the golden age of on-street parking. I drove into midtown several times on Sunday mornings and I could find parking spots left and right. Whole side streets around Grand Central Station were free of parked cars.
Now though its back to the same old way it used to be. You need to circle the block a couple times to find a spot.
