Local Law No. 8 - 2016
This local law shall be known as the “Restricted and Metered Parking on Baldwin Avenue” Law.
BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Mamaroneck
Section 1 – Purpose:
Baldwin Avenue presents a unique situation. It is within walking distance of the Larchmont
Metro-North train station, making it attractive to drivers who periodically travel by rail to New
York City. Baldwin Avenue also is walking distance to Memorial Park and the recreational facilities
run by the Town in that park. This law aims to strike a balance among the needs of the Baldwin
Avenue residents, occasional train travelers and users of Memorial Park by creating a mixture of
three hour time parking spaces and longer term metered parking spaces on Baldwin Avenue. The
goal is to accommodate persons who require short term parking when they engage in recreational
activities, like tennis, at Memorial Park, and longer term parking for persons who wish to travel to
New York City to shop, visit museums or keep appointments with physicians, etc.
Section 2 – Creation of Paid Parking on a section of Baldwin Avenue:
The Town Board designates the eight parking spaces on the southerly side of Baldwin Avenue that
are closest to Myrtle Boulevard as spaces where during certain times of the day, payment is
required for the right to park a motor vehicle. By resolution passed from time to time, the Town
Board shall establish for those parking spaces the cost for parking, the days and the time of day
when payment for parking is required and the method by which parking is paid.
Section 3 – Creation of Restricted Parking on a section of Baldwin Avenue:
It shall be a violation of law for a motor vehicle to be parked on Baldwin Avenue for more than
three consecutive hours between the hours of 9:00AM and 2:00PM except on a Saturday, a
Sunday or a public holiday (as defined in Section 24 of the NY General Construction Law) in a
parking space where payment for parking a motor vehicle is not required.
Section 4 – Sign(s) and Collection Devices to be Erected and Painting to be Done:
An appropriate sign or signs shall be erected on and/or above, and/or striping shall be painted on
the surface of Baldwin Avenue indicating where and when parking is restricted by this law. In
addition, parking meters or other collection devices shall be erected in front of, or in the vicinity
of the parking spaces where payment for the right to park a motor vehicle is, at times, required.
Section 5 – Severability:
Should any provision of this Local Law be declared invalid or unconstitutional by any court of
competent jurisdiction, such declaration of unconstitutionality or invalidity shall not affect any
1
other provisions of this Local Law, which may be implemented without the invalid or
unconstitutional provisions.
Section 6 – Effective Date:
This Local Law shall become effective upon filing with the Secretary of State.
