Reader Eric McClure spotted these flyers today on cars "up and down Jay Street between Johnson and Willoughby," in the 84th Precinct. This comes a few weeks after attendees at a public workshop identified illegal parking as a major safety hazard and a major source of dysfunction on Jay Street, where pedestrians, cyclists, buses, and private motorists all mix near the Manhattan Bridge approach.

"Looks like the 84 is getting ready to start writing some tickets," McClure writes. "Big props to [CO] Capt. [Maximo] Tolentino."

Judging by the flyer, excuses on the dashboard aren't going to fly.
