        AN ACT to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to  authorizing
          the  village of Mamaroneck in the county of Westchester to establish a
          residential parking system
 
          The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and  Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section 1. Legislative findings and intent. The legislature finds that
     2  a  lack  of  parking  for  residents  of certain areas of the village of
     3  Mamaroneck,  Westchester  county,  has  resulted  in  traffic   hazards,
     4  congestion  and air and noise pollution. In addition, such lack of park-
     5  ing poses a hazard to residents and other pedestrians in such areas.
     6    The legislature further finds that a residential parking system  would
     7  be  in  the public interest.  The legislature further finds that a resi-
     8  dential  parking  system  will  reduce  such  hazards  and  will  reduce
     9  pollution  levels  as  well. The legislature, therefore, hereby declares
    10  the necessity of this act to authorize  the  village  of  Mamaroneck  to
    11  adopt  a  residential  parking  permit  system  in  accordance  with the
    12  provisions of this act.
    13    § 2. The vehicle and traffic law is amended by adding  a  new  section
    14  1640-o to read as follows:
    15    §  1640-o.  Residential parking system in the village of Mamaroneck in
    16  the county of Westchester. 1. Notwithstanding the provisions of any  law
    17  to the contrary, the board of trustees of the village of Mamaroneck may,
    18  by adoption of a local law or ordinance, provide for a residential park-
    19  ing  permit system and fix and require the payment of fees applicable to
    20  parking within the area in which such parking system  is  in  effect  in
    21  accordance with the provisions of this section.
 
         EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                              [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                                   LBD11111-04-5
