Mayor Bloomberg indicated yesterday that he will veto a City Council bill that would prohibit the Sanitation Department from attaching those gooey stickers on illegally parked vehicles on alternate-side days.
The mayor contended that the stickers are part of the reason that streets that used to be rated 75 percent clean are now coming in with ratings of 95 percent.
“When you take ’em away, there’s no reason to think we won’t go back to the dirty streets we had before,” Bloomberg argued.
The bill, sponsored by David Greenfield (D-Brooklyn), passed unanimously, 47-0, meaning the council has more than enough votes to override a mayoral veto.

Why did this guy push himself into a third term? Just to harass New Yorkers and destroy his two good terms?
it’s not the NYPD I have an issue with when it comes to parking how about the D.A.’s office, the contruction worker parking for the 2nd ave sub(waste)way and the sanitation dept plaques that park without getting a ticket and a sticker. go 74 street between york and 3rd ave there is at least 20 cars that never get touched.
I THOUGHT THE DAYS A PLAQUE PARKING WAS OVER and besides how is putting a sticker on my car any different then someone keying my car, breaking my window of hitting when parked on a city street.
HOW ABOUT FIXING THE POTHOLES THAT HAVE RUINED OUR CARS MR MAYOR.
Folks it’s time to print your own stickers and slap ’em on the sanitation cars
