Council approves first reading to add handicap parking on Dean Court
Summary
The council passed an ordinance on first reading to establish a handicap parking space on Dean Court (address listed in discussion as 16 Dean Court); the ordinance was read by title and authorized for publication.
The Rutherford mayor and council on Jan. 13 advanced an ordinance on first reading to establish a handicap parking space on Dean Court and authorized advertising the ordinance according to law.
Councilman Guzman introduced the ordinance and asked the clerk to read the title: "An ordinance to amend and revise chapter 126, vehicles and traffic of the borough code of the borough Rutherford to establish a handicap parking space on Dean Court." Guzman moved the ordinance be passed on first reading and advertised; the motion received a second from Council President McGowan and passed on a roll-call vote.
A council member asked for the specific address; the answer given in the meeting was "16 Court." Council members noted Dean Court's proximity to Lincoln School drop-off and pickup activity and said placing the space near the dead end made sense for safety and traffic flow.
The council did not debate the ordinance's text at length; the item moved forward to the next step required by law, including public notice and a second-reading/public-hearing sequence required for ordinances. The published ordinance will include the statutory advertising and notice required for borough code changes.
No amendments to the ordinance were recorded at the Jan. 13 meeting.
