Reporters Olivia Scheck and Patrick Hedlund don't talk to NYPD's Traffic Enforcement department, which is responsible for parking, but talked to other officials that had no clue why:
"The Department of Transportation's new bike lanes on First and Second avenues has resulted in a reduction in the total number of parking spots on the blocks, though a DOT spokesman referred questions about the ticket decrease to the NYPD."
