Jersey City officials announced Tuesday that its residents can park in lots dedicated to its closed schools to ease burden amid a parking shortage caused by would-be commuters working from home during the coronavirus pandemic.

“There are so many people who are usually going to work or taking their children to school, but now they are staying home due to the emergency but there aren’t enough parking spaces,” said school Superintendent Franklin Walker in a statement.

Jersey City Mayor Steven M. Fulop praised the “tremendous gesture” by the school district.

“This new availability of the lots illustrates how we are all pulling together to not only keep our residents safe, but to also ease the transition into to the emergency procedures we must follow,” Fulop said in the statement.

Jersey City has also suspended its alternate-side parking rules through March 20, officials announced on Twitter.

NYC officials also temporarily suspended street cleaning Tuesday just hours after Mayor Bill de Blasio indicated that he wouldn’t be suspending it.
