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.

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.

This bill (A 1874) increases the maximum monetary penalty for illegally idling a vehicle's engine while parked, stopped, or standing in designated areas. It raises the cap from $50 to $150 per violation for idling offenses in cities with populations over one million (like New York City), while keeping other parking violation penalties at $50 or $100. The bill amends both state vehicle and traffic law and New York City's administrative code to reflect this higher penalty for idling violations specifically. It directly affects drivers who violate idling restrictions in large urban areas, without changing the underlying idling ban or other parking rules.
