[Good news, everyone](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1D1cap6yETA&ref=bklyner.com)!

From the office of City Councilman Michael Nelson:

> Recently, my office has been contacted by dozens of my constituents expressing their outrage over the monthly permit increases at the Brighton Beach Municipal Parking Lot. However, today I am pleased to announce that with the help of Speaker Christine Quinn and Councilman James Vacca, chairman of the Council’s Transportation Committee, the Department of Transportation (DOT) will be **rescinding all citywide proposed monthly parking rate increases effective immediately.**

> Any individual who has paid the increased amount will receive a refund. Furthermore, anyone who has yet to pay is only required to pay the current amount of $240\. The anger was well understood as the rates were scheduled to increase to a staggering $550 per quarter. During these tough economic times, such an increase would have a detrimental effect on hard working New Yorkers whose budgets are already being squeezed for every last dollar. Constituents with any questions regarding this matter can reach my office at [(718) 368-9176](tel:%28718%29%20368-9176).

In other news, all parking lots will be altered to accommodate bicycles only. Oh, just kidding. This time.
