Now you can get away with parking less than 15 feet from a hydrant sometimes. This will now ruin it. It will take away those parking spots that are 13-14 feet from a hydrant that normally didn't get ticketed. On a side note, one time I measured the distance from a hydrant to the closest parking meter and it was less around 12 feet! Yes the city made a legal parking spot less than 15 feet from a hydrant. Let the FDNY fight that! And when was the last time a fire truck "parked" when they got to a fire? The reason why you can't park near the hydrant is not for the truck to park but rather for access to the hydrant. Out of NYC, they require less than 10 feet to a hydrant. This is all one big scam.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bad move. Now you can get away with parking less than 15 feet from a hydrant sometimes. This will now ruin it.

What's worse, the agent doesn't have to prove you were parked wihin 15 feet of a hydrant. I went in person and fought such a ticket with the claim that I measured and was 15 feet away. It was my word against the agent. I asked how the agent knew I wasn't, and if agents do in fact carry around a tape measure (they don't). The agents use their judgement to make such a determination and it comes down to whose judgement is correct. A very subjective determination, to a law that is very objective. The law is clear. 15 feet of clearance from a hydrant. Either you are, or are not. The way things stand now, you could be 17 feel away, but if the agents believes its less than 15, they can write a ticket with no burden of proof whatsoever. The red lines are very clear.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>He’s right. What’s worse, the agent doesn’t have to prove you were parked wihin 15 feet of a hydrant.
