Three borough lawmakers are trying to revive a proposal for neighborhood parking programs, where up to 80 percent of spaces would be reserved for permit-paying residents.

They say spots near Downtown Brooklyn are overrun with commuters who park before taking the subway.

"Day in, day out, creating pollution, creating congestion, they come from other parts of Brooklyn, they come to our downtown communities to park their cars," said Brooklyn Assemblywoman Joan Millman. "And then, lo and behold, they take public transportation."

Permits could cost upwards of $50 a year and would help fund better citywide mass transit.

A spokesman for the city Department of Transportation said the plan should only be part of a "larger congestion reduction strategy" like congestion pricing.

That proposal was rejected in Albany last year.
