Title of bill
An act to amend the executive law, in relation to establishing the third Friday in September of each year as a day of commemoration known as "PARK(ing) Day"
Summary of provisions
This bill amends subdivision 3 of section 168-A of the executive law - The following days shall be days of commemoration in each year: The third Friday in September to be known as "National PARK(ing) Day."
Justification
National PARK(ing) Day has taken place on the third Friday in September since its inception in 2005, promoting sustainable urban living through alternative modes of transportation. PARK(ing) Day has become a national event in which people in more than 80 cities across the country have reclaimed city parking spots for one day and transformed them into temporary urban parks, miniparks, playgrounds, planting areas, art installations and other human-friendly spaces. This event was originally created to raise awareness of the need for more parks and green spaces in our cities. In 2007 Transportation Alternatives, in partnership with the Trust for Public Land, launched PARK(ing) Day NYC, bringing the successful public space intervention to the five boroughs. In 2008, the event spread to Ithaca, Rochester and Syracuse.
