Vehicles parked on city sidewalks will be towed away by the Metropolitan Transport Authority (AMET) and their owners forced to pay between RD$800 and RD$4,500 for the service, in addition to fines of RD$500 to RD$1,000. To effect this plan, the AMET will have 30 tow trucks at its disposal, as agreed to by AMET and Santo Domingo’s city government. Likewise, motorcycles parked on sidewalks will also be removed and subject to the same penalties. The measure also applies to the sidewalks of the Juan Pablo Duarte Olympic Center.
