BILL NUMBER:S2325
Title of bill
An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to authorizing a residential parking permit system in the city of New York
Purpose
Provides for the City of New York to adopt a residential parking permit system
Summary of provisions
Amends the vehicle and traffic law by adding a new Section 1640-n, which would allow the City of New York, by adoption of local law or ordinance, to provide for a residential parking permit system and fix and require the payment of fees applicable to parking within areas designated by the City of New York. This bill provides that no permit will be required on streets where the adjacent properties are zoned for commercial or retail use. It provides that the provisions shall not apply to those spaces in the permit areas that have metered or highly restricted parking regulations and requires public hearings prior to implementation.
Justification
Parking in neighborhoods such as Downtown Brooklyn has become increasingly prohibitive for residents and local businesses alike. This legislation authorizes the New York city council to adopt a residential parking permit system for the City of New York on a neighborhood by neighborhood basis. A residential parking permit system would alleviate the many parking and environmental issues increased by non-residents using a particular neighborhood as a personal and free parking space for hours each day. These commuters augment an already congested area and generate needless traffic accidents and hazards, pedestrian fatalities, air and noise pollution. Not only are residents displaced, but local businesses are affected by the loss of business.
