NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
BILL NUMBER: A10744A
SPONSOR: Peoples-Stokes TITLE OF BILL:
An act to amend chapter 108 of the laws of 2016, amending the vehicle
and traffic law relating to authorizing a pilot residential parking
permit system in the city of Buffalo, in relation to permanently author-
izing such provisions
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:
The purpose of this legislation is to allow the city of Buffalo to
continue its residential parking permit system.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section 1 amends the effective date of chapter 108 of the laws of 2016
to remove the sunset of the law.
Section 2 provides that this act shall be effective immediately.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ORIGINAL AND AMENDED VERSION:
The amendments make the law permanent rather than a five-year extender.
JUSTIFICATION:
Chapter 108 of the laws of 2016 authorized the city of Buffalo to adopt
a local law to implement a residential parking permit program for the
residents of the Fruit Belt neighborhoods, which are adjacent to the
Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus, to address the lack of available on
street parking close to their homes that occurred because of the growth
of the Medical Campus.
The pilot residential parking permit program has proven to be a success-
ful solution to the parking situation in the Fruit Belt since its imple-
mentation in 2016. It is appropriate to make this law permanent, with
the same boundaries, to provide the residents of the Fruit Belt, the
city of Buffalo, and the occupants and visitors of the Medical Campus a
stable and predictable parking permit program.
PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
This is a new bill.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS:
None.
EFFECTIVE DATE:
Immediately.
