The Common Council finds that a lack of parking for residents
in the City of Buffalo in the area in and around Buffalo General Medical
Park has resulted in traffic hazards, congestion, and air and noise
pollution, and that such lack of parking poses a hazard to residents
and other pedestrians in said area. The Common Council further finds
that a residential parking system within said area will reduce such
hazards and will reduce pollution levels as well. The State of New
York has recognized this necessity and authorized the City of Buffalo
to adopt an ordinance providing for a residential parking system.
Therefore, the Common Council declares the necessity of this act to
authorize the creation of the Fruit Belt Residential Pilot Parking
Area.
