First Deputy Mayor Dean Fuleihan, Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s top cabinet member, said on Thursday that expanding metered parking is among possible revenue raisers the administration is considering to help close a sizable budget gap and fund its priorities.

Fuleihan, in response to an audience question during a March 5 event at New York Law School, did not rule out charging more New York City drivers to park on city streets. A similar idea to raise revenue from expanding meterring and permit-parking was floated by the Center for an Urban Future think tank in a policy paper last month.
