Thank you Mr. Mayor for posing this question to us, little beings, going about our business of parking, searching, snooping, snatching, guarding, grabbing, grasping … having all available space outlawed, prohibited.. Every bus stop – half a city block, every hydrant – thirty feet. I surely do suppose you own a garage at Gracie Mansion, otherwise half your day would be wasted at circling round and round, you couldn’t be too productive…
Mr. Mayor, our bravest are slightly more advanced, they know more or less how to handle hoses, trucks, firefighting apparatus. All that’s needed in front of a hydrant is perhaps two feet maximum, to allow the fattest of the bravest to fit in any which angle he (or she?) chooses to go thru. A hose won’t take up much room. Trust me, Mr. Mayor, I’ve seen those hoses, they don’t take up more than four inches.
I propose me amend the NYC constitution to allow parking up to one foot each side of the hydrant. And to limit the space occupied by bus stops to one and a half bus lengths. Enough to let a bus in all the way to the curb and allow it to exit. Of course assuming NYC hires competent city bus drivers.
Honorably Yours,
Little Forggie
