Park Slope Alternate Side, Double Parking Ticket Blitz

In Park Slope, as in many other neighborhoods, double parking on side streets is an alternate side of the street parking day tradition. So much so that some neighborhood groups offer pre-printed notes one can display with one's phone number in case the person blocked in needs to get out. On at least one unknown Park Slope street yesterday, the police went on a ticket blitz, per an email making the rounds via the Park Slope Parents group:

Today I did the usual double-park during the three-hour alternate side period. When I went out a half hour ago to move the car, I found a $115 ticket; the entire line of double-parked cars on the block seemed to have them.

We're guessing there were many cases of elevated blood pressure on the streets where the traffic enforcement agents participated in the Double Parking Ticket Writing Orgy, although it would seem to indicate nothing more than the random nature of rule enforcement and the multiple agencies that can write tickets. We emailed the ticket victim to find out on which street those bright orange municipal gifts appeared and she hasn't respond yet. If she does, we'll update the post to note the location of the ticket blitz.

UPDATE: We now know that the Great Ticket Writing Blitz of the Last Day of November took place on Eighth Street between Sixth and Seventh Avenues, although the original ticket victim did not respond directly to our email.
