STATE OF NEW YORK ________________________________________________________________________ 8953 IN SENATE May 2, 2022 ___________ Introduced by Sen. KAPLAN -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee 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 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [] is old law to be omitted.
