Share Your Stories of Street Harassment in New York City

Let’s consider this the beginning of what we hope will be a continuing conversation.

For a coming series of articles and first-person accounts, City Room would like to hear your stories of street harassment and subway harassment.

How has harassment or the fear of harassment affected your life in New York City? Please share your stories in the comments.

Some questions to consider as you write:

How safe do you feel in New York City? Have you been harassed, and how do you define harassment? Does it occur often? How have you dealt with this? Whom did you talk to about it, if anyone? What questions do you have about safety? How have safety concerns changed how you navigate the city?

If you are uncomfortable with posting your story here, please share your experiences with us at metro@nytimes.com.

We will follow up with you shortly if we select you as a potential interview participant.

New York Today: The Parking Dance

Yana Paskova for The New York Times Move the car.

Good Monday morning. Cold weather is returning.

And so is a time-honored New York City ritual.

The snow is mostly gone.

The trash is mostly gone.

If you own a car, it is, probably, no longer entombed by frozen muck.

Now you get to move it.

After 22 days of grace, the city’s alternate-side parking rules are back in effect.

Drivers will search for a legal spot or do their little double-parking dance.

And the bristles of the street sweeper and the blades of the plow shall try to scour the pavement of a winter’s worth of grime.

(For those unfamiliar: the law requires street parking spots to be vacated for an hour or two one or two days a week for street cleaning. Our colleague Winnie Hu explains it all this morning.)

Twenty-two days is a lot, but nowhere near the record of 62 days in the winter of 1978.

Still, the city seems to have gotten a little impatient.

Agents issued a flurry of tickets in the Bronx last week to cars parked at an angle to the curb â€" even in some cases where the curb was blocked off by hillocks of ice crust.

Perhaps it had something to do with revenue.

The city, after all, issues an estimated $270,000 a day worth of tickets for alternate-side violations.

This year, alternate-side rules have been suspended on 28 of the 42 days they would normally be in effect.

That’s $7.6 million to make up.

Here’s what else you need to know.

WEATHER

It will only get colder â€" about 40 degrees now, down to 34 this afternoon and 21 tonight. A sunny day, though.

A flurry may fall tomorrow night, but not much more.

COMMUTE

Subways: Check latest status.

Rails: Check L.I.R.R., Metro-North or N.J. Transit status.
