NEW YORK (PIX11) \u2014 There aren\u2019t many greater feelings as a New York City driver than finding a free parking spot. That feeling may be harder to come by in the not-so-distant future, according to Zohran Mamdani\u2019s<\/a> deputy mayor.<\/p>\n

Speaking at New York Law School on Thursday morning, Deputy Mayor Dean Fuleihan said the administration is open to increasing parking costs in the city.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not a no,\u201d he responded to an audience member\u2019s questions about increasing meter prices or metering currently free spaces. \u201cYes, we should be looking at all these things.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s something that\u2019s been suggested by the Center for an Urban Future in a report released in February, with ideas to increase revenue<\/a> in New York City.<\/p>\n

Mayor Mamdani has consistently said that the city is looking for different ways to pull itself out of a serious budget crisis<\/a>. The mayor even suggested that hiking property taxes<\/a> would be a last-resort effort if it comes down to it.<\/p>\n

Report suggests expanding NYC paid parking<\/p>\n

The report estimates that the city could get an extra $1 billion if officials expanded metered parking to 25% of the existing free street parking.<\/p>\n

Currently, there are roughly 80,000 metered spots of over 3 million total parking spaces in New York City.<\/p>\n

Parking permits for a price?<\/p>\n

The Center for an Urban Future also recommended instituting a residential parking permit system.<\/p>\n

The system would charge a $75 parking permit fee for 10% of car-owning households in the city. The estimated returns would be $132 million annually, the report explained.<\/p>\n

In total, the city would generate an estimated $1.3 billion in revenue that is not currently available to it.<\/p>\n
