        AN  ACT to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to authorizing
          a pilot residential parking permit system in the city of  Buffalo  and
          providing for the repeal of such provisions upon expiration thereof
          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 in the city of Buffalo in  the  area  in
     3  and around Buffalo General Medical Park 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 area.
     6    The legislature further finds that a residential parking system within
     7  such area will reduce such hazards and will reduce pollution  levels  as
     8  well.  The legislature, therefore, hereby declares the necessity of this
     9  act to authorize the city of Buffalo  to  adopt  a  residential  parking
    10  system in accordance with the provisions of this act.
    11    §  2.  The  vehicle and traffic law is amended by adding a new section
    12  1640-p to read as follows:
    13    § 1640-p. Pilot residential parking  permit  system  in  the  city  of
    14  Buffalo.  1.  Notwithstanding the provisions of any law to the contrary,
    15  the city of Buffalo may, by  adoption  of  a  local  law  or  ordinance,
         EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                              [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                                   LBD11063-11-6
