Council approves advertising change to handicap-parking rules, and OKs neighborhood street closures for fall events
Summary
Council authorized advertisement of Ordinance 12-41 to update handicap-parking regulations, approved a temporary street closure for Saint Paul's UCC trunk-or-treat and agreed to provide fire-police assistance for a neighboring municipality’s Halloween parade.
The Northampton Borough Council approved a motion to advertise Ordinance 12-41, which the solicitor described as a repeal and replacement of chapter 234-38 of the codified ordinances regulating handicap parking. The motion to advertise was made by Councilman Stone and seconded by another council member; the council approved the request by voice vote. Separately, the council approved a temporary one-block street closure request from Saint Paul’s United Church of Christ for its annual community trunk-or-treat on Oct. 26 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.; the closure covers the block of Nineteenth Street from Ridge Alley to Lincoln Avenue. The council also approved a request from the Copley Police Department for Northampton’s fire police to assist with traffic direction during the Copley Halloween Parade on Oct. 21. All three items were approved by voice vote; no ordinance text was adopted at this meeting — the handicap-parking measure was approved only for advertisement to allow public review and future consideration.
