Golden to Arena Neighbors: "Drop Dead!"
If there were any doubts that the already heated debate over the prospect of Residential Permit Parking in Brooklyn was just beginnning, Assemblywoman Joan Millman, D-Cobble Hill, dispelled them at Wednesday night's Community Board 2 monthly general meeting.
"It's not so cut and dry. If it has to happen, it's not happening for awhile," said Millman, who first proposed legslation in the Assembly clearing the way for RPPs in Brooklyn Heights in 2008.
Millman's remarks made it increasingly unclear about whether any parking permit system would be in place in time for the scheduled opening of Barclays Center in September.
...This week, state Sen. Martin Golden, R-Bay Ridge, joined other legislators from South Brooklyn in slamming the idea of parking permits on Brooklyn streets.
