I always find this type of conversation fascinating since the US is still mostly mission territory and the idea of abrogation of Holy Days in the US was ALWAYS on the table traditionally at every meeting of bishops from the first council of Baltimore. If the bishops do this thing which was asked for by most bishops almost always in this ecclesiastical area, what makes the decision problematic?
The SSPX has been non servicing chapels on Holy Days for years.

The Dioceses of New York and Brooklyn (all of NYC), have transferred Ascension Day to the following Sat. vigil or Sunday.  The "diocese" of the NYC Parking Authority faithfully adheres to Church tradition and honors Our Lord by cancelling Alternate Side Parking on Ascension Thursday. Because Catholics won't offer Him due worship, He has raised up the lowly and despised distributor of fines, tickets, boots, and tows to the impound lot.
Since the Church in NY denied me the opportunity to hear the true Mass, I took advantage, with thanks to God, of parking directly in front of my residence.

I have never heard of this before, nor do I believe any of it, what is your source?
