TRANSPORTATION ALTERNATIVES PLANTS FAKE PARKING PLACARD AND AVOIDS NYPD SUMMONSES
No stopping or standing?
No problem.
Despite a widely touted citywide crackdown on parking placards -- both real and counterfeit -- New Yorkers can apparently still easily flout the law by parking with bogus permits.
Transportation Alternatives, a group that promotes bike-riding and mass transit, tested Mayor Bloomberg's anti-placard movement by parking a car illegally in Manhattan last week with a fake permit bearing the name of a bogus agency, "Citizen Protection Administration."
After six hours, the green Mazda Miata didn't get any summonses.
Group spokesman Wiley Norvell, who brought The Post along for the ride, said the incident proves that "if you can go out across New York City and park with impunity, then these reforms aren't achieving what they were intended to do."
