Mr Kraft is not an advocate for residential permit parking.

From midnight to seven the street outside Vicki's apartment building was permit parking only.

The town of Ossining has a waiting list for residents' permit parking.

The town plans to start permit parking in January, and there is already a two-year waiting list.

Mr. Winters defended the permit parking, saying many construction authority employees "spend a lot of time in the field and need to have their cars available."

However, this lot only has permit parking and contains no handicap-accessible spaces.

John Gallagher, a spokesman for the mayor, said that "discussion of a fee structure for residential permit parking is very premature."

Another resident questioned the legality of permit parking on a public road in the town, and he too took to his computer to complain.

Mr. Savage is pressing for permit parking on his street to keep outsiders out.

There is ample permit parking available at the station.
