Introduced by Sen. KAMINSKY -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
printed to be committed to the Committee on Transportation
AN ACT to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to authorizing
a residential parking system in certain parts of the hamlet of Ocean-
side in the Town of Hempstead
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 there is a shortage of parking for residents of a section of Oceanside
3 in the town of Hempstead that has resulted in traffic hazards,
4 congestion, and air pollution. In addition, such lack of parking poses a
5 hazard to residents and other pedestrians in this area. The Mount Sinai
6 South Nassau Hospital has expanded greatly in size in recent years to
7 become one of the largest hospitals in the region, and yet its parking
8 facility has not kept pace with the demand for parking at that institu-
9 tion. Consequently, many of the staff and visitors to the hospital
10 instead park on the streets of the nearby residential community of
11 Oceanside. In addition to the greater traffic volume, congestion and
12 associated problems, the resulting lack of parking for residents has
13 resulted in traffic hazards, air pollution, and increased litter,
14 including medical waste. The legislature finds that a residential park-
15 ing system in this section of Oceanside will reduce such hazards and
16 will lower pollution levels as well. The legislature, therefore,
17 declares the necessity of this act to authorize the town of Hempstead to
18 adopt a residential parking permit system in accordance with the
19 provisions of this act.
20 § 2. Subdivision 2 of section 1662-e of the vehicle and traffic law,
21 as added by chapter 267 of the laws of 2013, is amended to read as
22 follows:
23 2. Such residential parking permit system may only be established
EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
[] is old law to be omitted.
