Alternate side parking will be suspended from Sept. 29 to Oct. 3 near Borough Hall in an effort to counter the increase in demand for parking after the municipal garage closed on Wednesday, according to a Department of Transportation (DOT) spokeswoman.
The parking garage, next to Borough Hall and the ever-busy Criminal Court building, held 400 cars and with its closing, drivers in the area have been forced to find parking on the street.
The suspension area is bordered by Union Turnpike on the north, Metropolitan Avenue on the southwest and Queens Boulevard and Main Street on the east.
The garage will be replaced with a surface lot for cars but, according to the DOT, no completion date has been announced.
