Parking Prices To Double In Parts Of Brooklyn, DOT Says

CARROLL GARDENS, NEW YORK — Parking meter prices in the neighborhood are slated to spike in September, city records show.

All of Brooklyn will see parking meter prices go up on Sept. 4, but only in Carroll Gardens, Park Slope and Downtown Brooklyn will they double from $1- to $2-per-hour, according to the Department of Transportation.

"The modest increases announced today bring New York City parking rates more in line with those of peer cities," officials wrote in a press release, "as well as better reflect the market demand for parking."

Greenpoint and Williamsburg — two neighborhoods slated to lose a vital mode of transportation in April with the L train shutdown — will see parking prices jump to $1.50-per-hour, as well as small patches of Fort Greene, Borough Park, Ditmas Park, Midwood, and Fort Hamilton.

And hourly prices will rise by a quarter to $1.25-per-hour everywhere else in Brooklyn.

The fee increases are part of a DOT initiative that will roll out across New York City this autumn. Manhattan will get its price hikes in October, Queens in November and The Bronx and Staten Island in December.

You can find a complete map of where parking costs are rising on the DOT website.

This is first parking meter rate increase to occur in New York City since 2013, according to the DOT.
