Bill > S09884

This bill authorizes New York City to establish a residential parking permit system in specific Brooklyn neighborhoods (Community Boards 2, 4, 6, and Prospect Heights in Community Board 8) to address issues like traffic hazards, congestion, and pollution caused by a lack of resident parking. The system, which will be implemented through local laws or ordinances, will require permits for parking on certain streets during specified times, with exemptions for vehicles registered under section 404-a of the vehicle and traffic law and for metered parking spaces or streets zoned for commercial use. The law mandates that at least 20% of parking spaces within the permit areas be available to non-residents, with provisions for short-term parking, and that fees collected, after administrative costs, will be deposited into the "general transportation account" of the New York City Transportation Assistance Fund to support mass transit. This authorization is temporary, with the provisions set to expire and be repealed on December 1, 2030.
