After promising the Park South neighborhood, that it would use its garages and work diligently not to impact community parking, Albany Med has sanctioned multiple valet stands in the neighborhood around the hospital who admit they are not only using all the street parking before even considering the garage, but who are now blocking off street parking with valet service cones. Note from the sign in the photo (far right side) that this valet stand is also blocking designated residential parking on both sides of Morris that is much needed. Albany Med also advertises this valet service and the service refers community complaints to AMC, so it's clear the hospital is fully aware.
This is also impacting Sefcu customers who have as much right as AMC to find parking to do business. Both sides of Morris (residential parking) are being dominated by the valet service and they also use the CVS lot.
The answer is NOT to remove the residential parking signs and give one more area of our community over to Albany Med. The appropriate response is to respect and protect our community's rights and for Albany Med to honor its promises and use their garage. If AMC wants to provide valet parking, they need to provide it on their own premises by having patients and visitors pull up onto its own property and valet drivers can take the vehicles to the garage. It's way past time for such encroachments and disregard to be addressed rather than sanctioned by any arm of the city if that is what is happening.

This is about 5 or 6 valet areas around Albany Med and both sides of Morris, not 3 parking spaces. The valet parking is already confirmed for Albany Med, in general, and if the valet service was not blocking parking spaces, people could park there and go into SEFCU and other offices in that building. It doesn't make sense to have a valet service use all these spaces for a pull in lane, only to park the cars five feet away on the other side of Morris. Patients could do that themselves AND have the "pull in" lane available for residential and business parking as its officially designated.
As for the other situation on Morris, people illegally parking on property where a building was torn down (including unregistered vehicles with no license plates), doesn't make that property a city parking lot. It belongs to an organization who doesn't want to assume such liability nor be a public lot. These are two very different issues.

The photo doesn't show it, but there is a sign to the left saying that parking is only allowed for valet. Did the city really approve that? Next to the signs indicating normal residential parking?
I'm not certain that the valet service didn't install an illegal sign, or AMC did.
