The new spaces for resident permit parking comes within a one mile radius of the Empire State Plaza. The reason behind it is to increase the amount of spaces for people who live in that area and decrease the amount of stress they have when trying to find a parking space.
The expansion becomes official on February 14, aligning with the annual parking permit renewal date. Enforcement on newly added roadways will begin in March.
The following streets are where the newly added spaces will be
- Knox Street Alley
- Madison Avenue
- Dana Avenue
- Sheridan Avenue
- Orange Street
- Morton Avenue
- Washington Avenue
- Bradford Street
- Morris Street
- Myrtle Avenue
