New Yorkers debate loss of parking spaces for outdoor dining

New York Post published a report revealing that about 8,550 NYC parking spots have been monopolized by roadside outdoor dining sheds during the pandemic, according to data provided by the city. That’s about 0.3 percent of the city’s total three million parking spaces.

Residents, too, couldn’t agree on whether the sheds were a boon for the neighborhood or simply causing more traffic congestion.
