Introduced by M. of A. OTIS -- read once and referred to the Committee
on Transportation
AN ACT to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to authorizing
the village of Mamaroneck in the county of Westchester 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 Mamaroneck, Westchester county, has resulted in traffic hazards,
4 congestion and air and noise pollution. In addition, such lack of park-
5 ing poses a hazard to residents and other pedestrians in such areas.
6 The legislature further finds that a residential parking system would
7 be in the public interest. The legislature further finds that a resi-
8 dential parking system will reduce such hazards and will reduce
9 pollution levels as well. The legislature, therefore, hereby declares
10 the necessity of this act to authorize the village of Mamaroneck to
11 adopt a residential parking permit system in accordance with the
12 provisions of this act.
