BILL NUMBER: S7861
SPONSOR: HOYLMAN-SIGAL
 
TITLE OF BILL:
An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law and the public authorities
law, in relation to authorizing a residential parking permit system in
the city of New York; and providing for the repeal of such provisions
upon expiration thereof
 
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 Sec.1640-p.
 
JUSTIFICATION:
Parking in neighborhoods such as Downtown Brooklyn has become increas-
ingly prohibitive for residents and local businesses alike. This legis-
lation authorizes the New York City Council to adopt a residential park-
ing 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.
