Neighborhoods such as Brooklyn Heights and Park Slope have supported resi- dential parking permits as a shield against commuters from southern Brooklyn and elsewhere who park in their neighborhoods before con- tinuing their commutes to Manhattan on the subway. Supporters believe that a permit system will also re- duce the long-term impact of traffic congestion around the Atlantic Yards mega-proj- ect, which is slated to include 6,430 apartments on a 22- acre site that stretches from Flatbush Avenue to Vander- bilt Avenue. Similar programs have been adopted in Boston, Washington and Chicago, where residents around Wrig- ley Field pay $25 annually for “reasonable access to park- ing” near the baseball sta- dium known to fans as the Friendly Confines. Citing the success of such programs, Council- man Brad Lander (D–Park Slope) called a permit plan “the one piece of public pol- icy that can make a differ- ence” on arena traffic. City transportation offi- cials oppose a citywide per- mit plan, but have agreed to study the residential areas around the Barclays Center and Yankee Stadium. Meanwhile, lawmak- ers in southern Brooklyn, where car ownership is wide- spread, lambasted the plan as a tax on drivers, who have al- ways enjoyed free on-street parking. “The idea that someone would have to pay to park in front of their own home is ludicrous,” said Golden. “This is another tax on our communities.” Residential parking per- mits were shelved in 2008 after Mayor Bloomberg’s Now at three major locations: broader congestion pric- ing legislation failed in Al- bany.
