        Introduced  by M. of A. SOLAGES -- read once and referred to the Commit-
          tee on Transportation

        AN ACT to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to  authorizing
          the  village  of  Floral  Park  in the county of Nassau to establish a
          residential parking system

          The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and  Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:

     1    Section 1. Legislative findings and intent. The legislature finds that
     2  a  lack  of  parking  for  residents  of certain areas of the village of
     3  Floral Park, Nassau county, has resulted in traffic hazards,  congestion
     4  and  air  and noise pollution. In addition, such lack of parking poses a
     5  hazard to residents and other pedestrians in such areas.
     6    The legislature further finds that a residential parking system within
     7  such areas would be in the  public  interest.  The  legislature  further
     8  finds  that  a  residential parking system within such areas will reduce
     9  such hazards and will reduce pollution levels as well. The  legislature,
    10  therefore,  hereby  declares  the necessity of this act to authorize the
    11  village of Floral Park to adopt a residential parking permit  system  in
    12  accordance with the provisions of this act.
    13    §  2.  The  vehicle and traffic law is amended by adding a new section
    14  1640-r to read as follows:
    15    § 1640-r. Residential parking system in the village of Floral Park  in
    16  the  county  of  Nassau. 1. Notwithstanding the provisions of any law to
    17  the contrary, the village board of the village of Floral  Park  may,  by
    18  adoption  of a local law or ordinance, provide for a residential parking
    19  permit system and fix and require the  payment  of  fees  applicable  to
    20  parking  within  the  area  in which such parking system is in effect in
    21  accordance with the provisions of this section.
    22    2. Such residential parking permit  system  may  only  be  established
    23  within  the  area  of  the  village which shall mean that area generally
    24  bounded by the following:
    25    All of that area beginning at the intersection  of  Plainfield  Avenue
    26  and  Magnolia  Avenue;  proceeding east on Magnolia Avenue to its inter-
    27  section with Ward Street; thence running southerly on Ward Street to its
