{"text":"\"Multiple bills in the New York State Legislature cover concerns of certain New York City residents and businesses about illegal truck parking.\n\nOne bill halfway through the statehouse would increase the fine for illegally parking a commercial vehicle in parts of the city.\n\nSponsored by Sen. Leroy Comrie, D-Queens, S3215 would authorize $400 fines – up from $250 – for illegally parking a “tractor-trailer combination, tractor, truck tractor or semi-trailer” in residential neighborhoods of New York City. Subsequent violations within six months would result in $800 fines – up from $500.\n\nThe focus of the illegal truck parking legislation is Southeast Queens – between JFK and LaGuardia airports. Supporters say that between pickup and drop-offs commercial trucks park in residential neighborhoods. Neighbors complain about the vehicles as eyesores, environmental hazards, and noise makers.\n\nRead more: https://landline.media/new-york-bills-would-slap-fines-on-illegal-truck-parking-in-nyc/\"","videos":"[]","link":"{}","pics":"[]","canComment":true}

{"replyTo":"","text":"Well I say if you are parking in a place that is illegal to park in the fine should be high enough to make you not do it again!!! \n\nThere is very few times I will agree with a Democrat but DON’T PARK ILLEGALLY AND IT WONT BE A PROBLEM. \n\nIf parking is an issue don’t take the load or make them pay enough that running violation to the closest safe parking is worth it.
