Downtown Brooklyn Parking

Brooklyn Parking

Brooklyn is the second largest borough in New York City and the most populous, with the 2013 census registering nearly 2.6 million residents. It is also a major cultural hotspot, and popular portrayals of New York often include references to aspects of life that most New Yorkers would recognize to be distinctively Brooklyn.

Interestingly enough, Brooklyn wasn't considered a part of New York until 1898: this was when the Charter of "Greater New York" combined Brooklyn with the other boroughs to form the modern boundaries of the city. Traditionally a manufacturing center, Brooklyn has experienced much growth in the high-tech, entertainment and support services in recent years. It has come to be regarded as an ideal location for the back offices of Manhattan businesses and is home to numerous banks and credit unions as well.

As can be expected from such an important cultural and economic locale, there are tons of places to visit in Brooklyn. Its major attractions include the Brooklyn Academy of Music, the Brooklyn Philharmonic, the Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Coney Island, Floyd Bennett Field, Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge, New York Transit Museum, Brooklyn Navy Yard, Atlantic Center Mall, Barclays Center Stadium, and Prospect Park.

Of course, the vibrant activity in this part of the city directly translates to a long litany of parking woes. A 2007 study conducted in Park Slope by Transportation Alternatives found that nearly half of the traffic in the area could be attributed to motorists cruising around in search of legal street parking.
