Council approves first reading of multiple handicapped parking ordinances for sites across Paterson
Summary
On first reading the council approved ordinances establishing and repealing designated handicapped parking spaces at numerous addresses on city and county roads; second reading is scheduled for the next regular meeting.
Paterson City Council completed first-reading action on ordinances establishing and repealing handicapped parking spaces at numerous locations on both city and county roads.
Items 3 through 6 were read together and moved on first reading; the list of affected addresses was read into the record and includes dozens of locations across Paterson where the city proposes to add or remove designated accessible parking.
Councilmembers voted to pass the items on first reading; the clerk recorded seven votes in favor and two absent. The council set a second reading for the regular meeting on June 17, 2025, per the clerk’s announcement.
The ordinances affect on-street parking designations and are typical municipal traffic/accessibility adjustments. Staff told the council that the ordinances require no public hearing at first reading and that the public will have the opportunity to review the proposed locations before final adoption.
