A new bill proposed by State lawmakers in Brooklyn aims to implement a pilot program for residential parking permits in several neighborhoods. Sponsored by Assemblywoman Jo Anne Simon and State Sen. Brad Hoylman-Sigal, this program would prioritize street parking for residents by charging them a fee for permits. The initiative seeks to alleviate parking congestion, particularly as drivers seek to avoid congestion pricing tolls. Revenue generated would fund the program, including provisions for low-income residents and short-term visitor parking. Similar initiatives are considered in Manhattan, but legislative approval is necessary within a few weeks.
