                                BILL NUMBER:S5536

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the vehicle and traffic law and the public officers law, in
relation to establishing in the city of New York a demonstration program
to enforce street cleaning parking rules by means of street cleaning
vehicle photo devices

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
This bill amends the Vehicle and Traffic Law and
the Public Officers Law to authorize the City of New York to
establish a demonstration program imposing liability on the owners of
motor vehicles found to be in violation of street cleaning parking
rules in the City through the use of a photo device which captures or
records, and produces by photographic, microphotographic, digital
tape or other recording system, an image of a motor vehicle parked
unlawfully on the street that impedes the City's ability, through the
Department of Sanitation, to effectively clean the street under its
street cleaning program. The City will be authorized to operate
cameras on its street cleaning vehicles assigned to street cleaning
routes in up to twenty-five community districts in the City.

REASONS FOR SUPPORT:
Maintaining street cleanliness and litter control
in New York City are important quality-of-life concerns for property

owners, businesses and the New York City Department of Sanitation.
Street cleaning parking rules ensure that there is open and unhindered
curbside accessibility to Department workers who operate street
cleaning vehicles, also known as mechanical brooms, to clean over
6,000 curb miles of the City's streets in the boroughs of Manhattan,
Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens that are covered by such street cleaning
rules. The Department schedules an average of 200 mechanical brooms
per weekday to sweep the City's streets. These vehicles are equipped
with heavy duty brushes or "brooms" that loosen street debris and
contain a mechanism to spray the street with water for reducing air
pollutants on the street. Any decrease or loss of a substantial
portion of the Department's cleaning capability as a result of
vehicles parked in violation of alternate side parking restrictions
greatly affects community cleanliness.

The purpose of this legislation is to develop a system that will
supplement current enforcement efforts by using technology to record
parking violations on film or other recording device. The
program will operate in the same manner as the Red Light Camera
Program and the Bus Lane Program, which have successfully reduced red
light and bus lane violations in the City.

Technology presently exists that will capture vehicles parked
unlawfully without the presence of a police or uniformed sanitation
enforcement officer. A photo device would be placed on a street
cleaning vehicle and would capture or record, and produce by
photographic, microphotographic, digital tape or other recording
system an image of a motor vehicle that is parked unlawfully in
violation of street cleaning parking rules posted on traffic signs.
This image can then be used as evidence in a proceeding before the


New York City Parking Violations Bureau to impose liability on the
owner of the vehicle for the parking violation. This technology is
presently in use on some street cleaning vehicles in the District of
Columbia and in the City of Chicago.

The enactment of this legislation, which is modeled after the enabling
legislation that authorized the Red Light Camera Program and the Bus
Lane Program, will enable the City to continue to explore the use of
new technology as a means of improving the quality of life in the City.
