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
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-m, which would allow the common council of the city of Albany to adopt a local ordinance to provide for a pilot residential parking permit system with a two year sunset. Requires that the residential parking system may only be established within a one 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 and/or retail use. Outlines the local law or ordinances 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 alleviate 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
2007/2008 - S.3067/A.5697 Remained in the Senate/Assembly Committee on Transportation
Fiscal implications
None to the State.
Effective date
This act shall take effect immediately and shall remain in full force and effect for a period of 730 days after the implementation of the local law or ordinance adopted by the city of Albany pursuant to section 1640-m of the vehicle and traffic law as added by section two of this act at which time this act shall expire and be deemed repealed.
