BILL NUMBER: S8713

SPONSOR: KAMINSKY
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to authorizing
a residential parking system in certain parts of the hamlet of Oceanside
in the Town of Hempstead

 
PURPOSE:

To authorize a residential parking system on specified streets of the
hamlet of Oceanside in the Town of Hempstead.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 sets for the legislative intent.

Section 2 amends subdivision 2 of section 1662-e of the vehicle and
traffic law, as added by chapter 267 of the laws of 2013 to develop a
residential parking system on specified streets in the hamlet of Ocean-

side in the Town of Hempstead.

Section 2 is the effective date.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Chapter 267 of the laws of 2013 established a residential parking permit
system in a certain portion of East Meadow in the Town of Hempstead
which was nearby the Nassau University Medical Center. This was neces-
sary due to the high volume of patients serviced by the hospital and the
limited parking for both patients, employees of the hospital and nearby
homeowners.

This legislation amends chapter 267 of the laws of 2013 to establish a
residential parking permit system in a portion of Oceanside in the Town
of Hempstead. Residential parking would be implemented on certain
streets surrounding South Nassau Communities Hospital.  Similarly to
East Meadow, South Nassau Communities Hospital employs and services
hundreds of individuals on a daily basis, resulting in a lack of parking
in the residential neighborhood surrounding the facility.  Therefore, a
residential parking system would guarantee that local inhabitants would
have parking near their home.

 
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

S89 (Passed Senate) - 2019
S.8504- 2018

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

None to the State.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately.

 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:
 
   Section 1. Legislative findings and intent. The legislature finds that
 there  is  a shortage of parking for residents of a section of Oceanside
 in  the  town  of  Hempstead  that  has  resulted  in  traffic  hazards,
 congestion, and air pollution. In addition, such lack of parking poses a
 hazard  to residents and other pedestrians in this area. The Mount Sinai
 South Nassau Hospital has expanded greatly in size in  recent  years  to
 become  one  of the largest hospitals in the region, and yet its parking
 facility has not kept pace with the demand for parking at that  institu-
 tion.  Consequently,  many  of  the  staff  and visitors to the hospital
 instead park on the streets  of  the  nearby  residential  community  of
 Oceanside.  In  addition  to  the greater traffic volume, congestion and
 associated problems, the resulting lack of  parking  for  residents  has
 resulted  in  traffic  hazards,  air  pollution,  and  increased litter,
 including medical waste. The legislature finds that a residential  park-
 ing  system  in  this  section of Oceanside will reduce such hazards and
 will  lower  pollution  levels  as  well.  The  legislature,  therefore,
 declares the necessity of this act to authorize the town of Hempstead to
 adopt  a  residential  parking  permit  system  in  accordance  with the
 provisions of this act.
   § 2. Subdivision 2 of section 1662-e of the vehicle and  traffic  law,
 as  added  by  chapter  267  of  the laws of 2013, is amended to read as
 follows:
   2. Such residential parking permit system may only be established
   (I) within the area known as East Meadow of the town consisting of the
 following roadways:
   (a) Roosevelt Avenue west of Prospect Avenue;
   (b) Jefferson Street west of Prospect Avenue;
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets

                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
