Ridge Republican vows to kill parking permits for Barclays neighbors
Quote:
A controversial plan to sell street parking permits to residents near the Barclays Center arena has already broke down in the pothole of the Republican-controlled state Senate days after the City Council approved the proposal.
“This law is dead on arrival in Albany,” said an Albany source with firsthand knowledge of the GOP leadership’s discussion of the so-called “residential parking permit” proposal, which passed the City Council on Nov. 3.

I don't really care about the subject of parking of all subjects, and nor do I live NEXT, next to the Barclays Center, but why are people arguing about free parking when their property value is going to skyrocket because of this arena. Businesses are going to be booming after some 20,000 people finish attending a concert or show or just in general. This arena is going to change Brooklyn in a big way. All major venues or arenas, stadiums etc. DON'T have free parking at the door step, so why should it be any different here.
