BILL NUMBER: S9884
SPONSOR: SALAZAR
 
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 in certain neighborhoods.
 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section 1 details the legislative findings and intent.
Section 2 Amends the Vehicle and Traffic Law by adding a new Section
1640-t to authorize a residential parking permit system in the city of
New York in Brooklyn Community Boards 2, 4, 6 and the Prospect Heights
neighborhood in Brooklyn Community Board 8.
Section 3 amends Subdivision 1 of section 1270-i of the public authori-
ties law to require the funds collected from the new section 1640-t of
the VHTL established in Section 2 of this bill be deposited in the NYC
Transportation Assistance Fund.
Section 4 establishes the effective date.
 
JUSTIFICATION:
Parking in many Brooklyn neighborhoods has become increasingly prohibi-
tive for residents and local businesses alike. This legislation author-
izes the New York City Council to adopt a residential parking permit
system for the City of New York in Brooklyn Community Boards 2, 4, and
6. 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.
