Just a straight up alternate side parking will also get rid of the long term parkers. I think that’s better…

The parking situation can be eased by issuing resident only street parking from 7am to 6pm. Only way to prevent non residents from parking there.
Then again, around Queensboro Plaza, the parkers routinely ignore street cleaning rules, and school parking rule signs so maybe resident parking wont do anything either.
