The bill imposes civil penalties of $1,000 for first violations and $2,000 for subsequent violations within a year, with each transaction counted as a separate offense.

S 5898: Transfers certain lands to city of New York to be used as parklands

S 5898 transfers ownership of specific land parcels, including sections of the Willowbrook Parkway and Richmond Parkway in Staten Island, to the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation for use as public parklands. The bill prohibits these lands from being used for transportation, sold, leased, or repurposed without explicit legislative approval, requiring any future disposal to be replaced with equivalent parkland of similar environmental value. It also allocates funds equal to the construction cost of these parkways to support local transportation projects in Staten Island, such as road improvements and expressway extensions. This legislation preserves green space while directing resources toward infrastructure needs in the borough.
