The Board of Trustees of the Village of Bronxville finds that there is a potential for a temporary shortage of parking for residents of the Village of Bronxville from the displacement of approximately 180 vehicles from the Kensington parking lot, which is comprised of three public parking lots located adjacent to the Metro-North train station, abutting Kensington Road, in the Village of Bronxville. This displacement will occur during a period of construction in the Kensington parking lot, when such lot will be unavailable for public parking. Without a parking system in place to accommodate these displaced vehicles, this lack of parking is likely to result in traffic hazards, congestion and air and noise pollution, and could pose a hazard to residents and other pedestrians in the area. The Board of Trustees finds that in order to minimize and reduce such hazards and pollution levels, the institution of a temporary residential parking permit system is necessary.
