WINTER STORM: MTA prepares for expected snowfall, DOT suspends alternate side parking Tuesday
The DOT said that alternate side parking regulations will be suspended on Tuesday, although parking meters will remain in effect. Meanwhile, the MTA said that its employees are ready, and that they will be deployed throughout the region spreading salt and clearing surfaces of snow, keeping signals, switches, and third rails operating, and attending to any weather-related challenges.
The MTA said that while the subway will be mostly unaffected, there is still 220 miles of outdoor track throughout the boroughs. The Rockaway A and S; Sea Beach N; Flushing 7; Brighton B,Q; and Dyre Av 5 lines are particularly vulnerable to snow and freezing ice precipitation.
