all city parades affected

City Orders Reductions in Lengths of Parades
By CARA BUCKLEY

Few events are as quintessentially and flamboyantly emblematic of New York as its parades. From Macy’s skyscraper-scraping balloons to the bombast of Puerto Rican Day to the feathered splendor of the West Indian American Day Carnival to the exhibitionism of gay pride, parades help New Yorkers reclaim their streets by the tens of thousands, and do what they do best: preen and strut.

But now, the Police Department is demanding that parade marchers take it down a notch.

On Monday, the department announced that starting on April 1, the city’s parades must cut the distances they cover by 25 percent — and also not be more than five hours long. The scaled-down celebrations will cost $3.1 million less for police presence, the department said, and will help it avoid cuts in “essential police services,” like investigating crime and terrorism threats.

Citywide, parade organizers quickly did the calculations while digesting the news.

Would Macy’s have to ax the Dora the Explorer balloon? Would Carnival organizers have to hold back throngs of bikini-clad women from shimmying down Brooklyn’s Eastern Parkway? Would marching bands have to take up speed walking?

None of the answers were immediately clear. Actually, one was. Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade may be the city’s biggest, in terms of national recognition, but it already clocks in at under two hours, according to a spokesman, Orlando Veras.

Mr. Veras said that it was too early to determine a possible new or shortened route for the parade. But he said that Macy’s would work closely with the police to hew to the new rules.

Last year, he said, the Macy’s parade bypassed Broadway for the first time in its history because portions of it are now closed around Times Square. “Like I said, we’re used to change here,” Mr. Veras said.

But other parade organizers wondered just how the police would put the new rules into effect. All parades in the city must receive permits from the police, which specify the route and start time of the event.

“I personally was wondering, how are they going to do this?” said Arthur Finn, co-chairman of Heritage of Pride, which produces the LGBT Pride March, traditionally a six-hour event. “If it’s 5 o’clock and ten of thousands of people are on the street, are they going to say, ‘O.K., you’re going to have to go home now?’ ”

Madelyn Lugo, a spokeswoman for the Puerto Rican Day Parade, said her organization had already shortened its march by two hours, starting at 11 a.m. and now ending at 5 p.m., at the Police Department’s behest. Before that, she said, each marching group or organization could invite hundreds of marchers. Now, she said, the cap is 50 people each. “It’s going to be hard because of the amount of participants we have,” she said. “I don’t think we can accommodate those people in five hours.”

Norman Siegel, the civil rights lawyer, said the new restrictions should be challenged in court. “New York City should not be balancing its budget by cutting historical First Amendment activities,” he said.

Several city officials, however, said cuts to parades made sense, given the dire financial times.

Deputy Mayor Edward Skyler noted that his boss, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, said that New Yorkers could not afford a tax increase and that “we can’t take our eyes off the ball when it comes to keeping crime low.”

He added that whittling the size and duration of parades was preferable to downsizing the Police Department.

Councilman Peter F. Vallone Jr., the Queens Democrat who is chairman of the Public Safety Committee, said, “It sounds like a reasonable attempt to cut overtime costs at an agency which has no place left to cut.” And Councilman James Vacca, a Bronx Democrat and the chairman of the Transportation Committee, said it was “something we should talk about” as long as the cuts were “implemented with some sensitivity.”

But Mr. Vacca also suggested that the city show some flexibility, rather than applying a blanket 25 percent cut — perhaps 10 percent for some, and 30 percent for others, depending on the significance of each parade.

One major marching event that will not be immediately affected is the St. Patrick’s Day Parade, which takes place on March 17, before the new rules take effect. The parade has a particularly eminent grand marshal this year: Raymond W. Kelly, the police commissioner.
