A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the creation of a residential parking permit system in Kew Gardens

This local law proposes the creation of a residential parking permit system in Kew Gardens, Queens. The system would be implemented by the Department of Transportation and would cover the area bounded by Jackie Robinson Parkway to the north, Hillside Avenue to the south, the Van Wyck Expressway to the east, and 118th Street to the west.

Key provisions of the system include:

• Designation of specific permit areas.
• Specification of times and days when permit requirements are in effect.
• Ensuring at least 20 percent of spaces are available to non-residents, with 90-minute short-term parking options.
• Exemptions for vehicles registered pursuant to section 404-a of the vehicle and traffic law.
• A schedule of fees for residential permits.
• All collected fees will be credited to the general fund of the city of New York.

Notably, no permit would be required on streets where adjacent properties are zoned for commercial, office, or retail use. The law is set to take effect 120 days after it becomes law.
