Sponsor's memo

Title of bill

An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to authorizing the city of Yonkers to establish a residential parking system in the Yonkers Raceway/Empire City area

Purpose or general idea of bill

To authorize the City of Yonkers to implement a residential parking permit system to be implemented.

Justification

A residential parking permit is necessary because of the inadequacy of on-street parking in an area located to the west of the Yonkers Raceway/Empire City facility, consisting of five streets containing approximately 260 houses. Although Yonkers Raceway/Empire City does provide ample free self parking with a shuttle for patrons as well as valet parking; parking on nearby streets seems to be a practice being used by patrons as it is faster and easier to park and walk to their cars rather than use the shuttle.

As a result, the residents of these roadways (Belmont Avenue, from Orient Street to Yonkers Avenue; Boone Street, from Central Park Avenue to Dead. End; Clark Street, from Central Park Avenue to Orient Street; Loring Avenue, from Central. Park Avenue to Orient Street and Chamberlain Avenue, from Belmont A venue to Central Park Avenue) are unable to find parking near their home and other problems have been reported such as increased littering and noise from the patrons as they use their cars.
