NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
BILL NUMBER: A8842
SPONSOR: Benedetto TITLE OF BILL:
An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to bus opera-
tion-related traffic regulations
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:.
To amend the no-standing rules at bus stops to exclude such violations
occurring on a roadway in the Mitchell-Lama Co-op City housing develop-
ment.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
This bill amends the vehicle and traffic law to change bus operation-re-
lated traffic regulations in the city of New York. It amends the
no-standing rules at bus stops to exclude such violations occurring on a
roadway in a Mitchell-Lama cooperative housing development with no fewer
than 10,000 units.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ORIGINAL AND AMENDED VERSION (IF APPLICABLE):
JUSTIFICATION:
Residents of Co-op City in the Bronx report receiving summonses for
allegedly blocking bus stops in the area. The violations are usually
captured by cameras on public transit buses. Due to Co-op City's unique
street layout, in which a peripheral boulevard circles the main site and
four roads loop toward the interior, it is difficult for residents to
avoid briefly stopping their vehicles in these no-standing zones, such
as when parents pick up or drop off their children at school.
PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
New bill.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS:
None.
EFFECTIVE DATE:
On the ninetieth day after it shall have become a law, with provisions.
STATE OF NEW YORK
