Parking On Narrow Road Amended
By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK - A proposed ordinance that would have prohibited all street parking on Davos Road was amended before its final reading because a number of residents objected to the restriction. Council President Vince Minischino said that in August a resident of Davos Road asked the governing body to do a study after an emergency vehicle couldn’t make it past cars that were parked on both sides of the road. “This wasn’t done just randomly to pick on Davos Road,” Minischino said.
Davos Road intersects Princeton Avenue at the location of Windward Tavern. The Safety Committee made a recommendation that parking should be restricted altogether, the council president said, but the ordinance was amended af ter “there was a lot of public outcry.” The Safety Committee, which is comprised of the Police Department’s Traffic Safety Unit and the Fire Bureau, went back out to reevaluate Davos Road at the council’s request to address concerns raised about emergency vehicles access and the need for parking.
