In an era of congestion pricing, lawmakers advocate for residential parking permits in NYC
Briefly

A new bill in the New York State legislature, proposed by Assembly Member Jo Anne Simon and Senator Brad Hoylman-Sigal, aims to address parking challenges in specific Brooklyn neighborhoods such as Fort Greene, Clinton Hill, and Prospect Heights. If enacted, the bill would initiate a pilot program requiring residents to pay for parking permits, thereby prioritizing curbside parking for locals while reserving metered spaces for commercial use. The bill seeks to combat issues caused by non-residents occupying parking spaces and contribute to alleviating traffic accidents and pollution, with potential expansion citywide in the future.
