S 7775: Authorizes a residential parking system in the village of Sleepy Hollow in the county of Westchester

S 7775 authorizes the village of Sleepy Hollow to establish a residential parking permit system on designated streets to address parking shortages for residents, caused by high population density, nearby train stations, and tourism (including Halloween-related visitors). The system would require permits for parking in specific residential areas (such as Sleepy Hollow Manor and Downtown Sleepy Hollow), while ensuring at least 20% of spaces remain available for nonresidents with 60-minute short-term parking options. Permit fees collected would be deposited into the village's general fund, and the system must be implemented after a public hearing. The bill does not mandate adoption but provides the legal framework for the village to act.
