Sen. Squadron: city DOT's rejection of residential parking permits is "troubling"
Atlantic Yards Report
State Sen. Daniel Squadron (D-Brooklyn) called the New York City Department of Transportation's rejection of residential parking permits (RPP ) near the Barclays Center and Yankee Stadium "troubling," pointing to the "overcrowded streets surrounding New York City's stadiums and major business districts." (Also see coverage in Patch.)
He noted that the Downtown Brooklyn Council found that more than 40 percent of on-street parked vehicles in Downtown Brooklyn are commuter cars.
The problem is that Squadron's legislation, which is co-sponsored by Sen. Velmanette Montgomery in the Senate and sponsored by Assemblymember Joan Millman in the Assembly, as run up against Brooklyn Sen. Marty Golden, who has vowed to oppose it.
