BILL NUMBER:S5538A
Title of bill
An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to expanding the residential parking system in the village of Cold Spring, county of Putnam
Purpose
The purpose of this legislation is to expand the residential parking system in the village of Cold Spring in Putnam County.
Summary of provisions
Section 1. Subdivision 2 of section 1640-h of the vehicle and traffic law is amended to add the specified roadways on the east side of the metro north train station to the list of eligible streets for the residential parking permit system.
Section 2. Establishes the immediate effective date.
Justification
This legislation expands the residential parking permit system currently in place in the Village of Cold Spring.
The area in which the village of Cold Spring would like to expand the parking permit system is encompasses the hub of the business activity. Within five blocks on Main Street, there are eight restaurants and two cafes, as well as numerous antique stores and other retail shops. With parking spaces taken up by commuters on the Metro North line, patrons of the shops and restaurants have difficulty parking in the vicinity of the businesses.
The village recognizes the impact the lack of parking has on the area businesses and has requested an expansion of the parking permit system to allow better access to the downtown area.
By expanding the current system to include the entire riverfront area, residents and business owners will be satisfied, and the character of the neighborhood will remain in tact.
