BILL NUMBER: S6428

SPONSOR: BRESLIN
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to the residen-
tial parking permit system in the city of Albany; and to amend chapter
454 of the laws of 2010 amending the vehicle and traffic law relating to
authorizing a pilot residential parking permit system in the city of
Albany, in relation to making such provisions permanent

 
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:

Relates to the residential parking permit system in the city of Albany

 
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:

Section 1:

(1) Permits the City of Albany to provide for a residential parking
permit system.

(2) Defines the area such a residential parking permit system may apply
to.

(3) Excludes streets zoned for commercial property from the residential
parking permit program.

(4) Sets forth the content necessary for a local law or ordinance creat-
ing such a residential parking permit system.

Section 2: Amends section 3 chapter 454 of the laws of 2010.

Section 3: Sets the effective date.

 
JUSTIFICATION:  Albany's resident permit parking authorization was
first adopted in

2010 as a two-year pilot program and has been extended every two years
thereafter. Since local implementation on February 15, 2013, as three
separate geographically distinct zones, the system has met its primary
objectives of increasing the availability of daytime resident parking
within the permit zones and creating more short-term parking availabili-
ty for locally owned neighborhood small businesses; under Albany's
permit system, every resident permit designated space is also designated
for short-term visitor parking of two-hours. Despite success, there
continues to be challenges. The current system is limited to within a
three-quarter mile radius of the Empire State Plaza which has resulted
in displacement impacts in neighborhoods west of one of the zones, in
addition, the limitation on total number of spaces (2,750) that may be
designated permit-only limits the flexibility of the system to address
impacts from new development and revitalization projects in downtown
Albany. These include projects in the downtown business district, expan-
sions on the SUNY Albany downtown campus and at Albany Medical Center
(which has also included a significant expansion of garage capacity
available to employees and visitors).

Expanding the allowable radius within which a permit system may be
implemented from three-quarters of a mile of the Empire State Plaza to
one-mile will enable the system to address issues on the western edge of
the zone, particularly those related to SUNY and Albany Medical Center.
It should be noted that the original permit proposal, prior to the 2010
adoption, did contemplate a one-mile radius. In addition, expanding the
number of allowable 'spots to be designated by 750 will enable the
system to address issues in the expansion area as well as issue related
to projects in the downtown business district. Finally, the system
should no longer be considered a pilot program, eliminating the sunset
date on the authorizing chapter will provide certainty to the continua-
tion of the system and ease administrative concerns regarding the need
to seek biennial reauthorizations.
