BILL NUMBER:A1039A
Title of bill
An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to authorizing a pilot residential parking permit system in the city of Albany and providing for the repeal of such provisions upon expiration thereof
Purpose or general idea of bill
Provides for the
city of Albany to adopt a pilot residential parking permit system within certain areas of the city.
Summary of specific provisions
Section 1: Legislative findings and intent.
Section 2: Amends the vehicle and traffic law by adding a new section 1640-1, which would allow the common council of the city of Albany to adopt a local ordinance to provide for pilot a residential parking permit system with a two year sunset. Requires that the residential parking system may only be established within a 3/4 mile radius of the Nelson A. Rockefeller Empire State Plaza. Permits will be issued on no more than 2,750 spaces within the permit areas. The permitted streets within this area shall be described in a local law or ordinance adopted by the common council pursuant to this section. Provides that no permit will be required on streets Where the adjacent properties are zoned for commercial, office acid/or retail use. Outline's the local law or ordi- nances to be adopted by the common council of the city of Albany. Provides for a public hearing prior to implementation.
Section 3: Effective date.
Justification
This is a two-year pilot program that attempts to allevi- ate the parking problems faced by downtown residents. Parking and the lack of it in the city of Albany is a growing problem in many areas of the city. An expanding workforce within the city, the proliferation of a large student population and a lack of driveways for pre-automobile homes has resulted in a glut of automobiles on city streets. This leaves the residents of the City with the almost impossible task of parking near their homes.
Prior legislative history
2009 passed Assembly. Similar legislation has been introduced for many years.
Fiscal implications
None to the State.
