Establishes the city of Buffalo parking authority
This bill creates a new public agency called the City of Buffalo Parking Authority to manage city-owned parking facilities. The authority, governed by a board appointed by the mayor (with council approval), will construct, operate, and maintain public parking projects across Buffalo. It gains powers to acquire property (including through eminent domain), set fees, issue bonds, and contract for services - while requiring city planning board approval for project locations. The bill directly affects Buffalo residents through improved parking management and city operations, without changing existing parking regulations or fees.
