It's the first day of school, which means it's the first day of double-parking-in-front-of-school season.

We're collecting photos from across the New York area, so please send yours to tips@streetsblog.org.

For now, there's the photo snapped by me on my way to work in Brooklyn's DUMBO neighborhood above, and this collection of tweets to get us going.
