A silver Infiniti belonging to Councilman Lew Fidler -- a vocal congestion pricing critic -- was spotted last Thursday parkedon a pedestrian plaza near Borough Hall that has become something of ago-to spot for law-bending city employees.
But it wasn't the only time last week the unlucky Canarsiepolitician stumbled into a parking problem. Just a day earlier, Fidlerwas slipped an angry note on his windshield after parking directlyabove a nearby subway grate.
"I did it," said a flustered Fidler after our spies caught the pol."I'm not going to apologize for it. I thought it would be better thanparking on the subway grate."
