Council schedules hearing on making Lafayette Street alternate‑side parking year‑round
Summary
The council scheduled a public hearing to consider changing Lafayette Street’s winter‑only alternate‑side parking to year‑round alternate‑side parking because the street is narrow and current winter restrictions have not addressed year‑round safety/traffic concerns.
Saratoga Springs officials said they will hold a public hearing on an amendment to City Code (vehicle and traffic schedule 29) to change alternate‑side parking on Lafayette Street from a winter‑only rule to year‑round enforcement.
Commissioner Cole described Lafayette Street as a very narrow street and said the proposed change would convert the existing seasonal alternate‑side parking to enforcement throughout the year. The public‑safety and public‑works officials will present the proposed ordinance language at the hearing; the council did not take a final vote at this meeting.
Why it matters: The move would change on‑street parking behavior on a local street, potentially affecting residents and on‑street parking demand. The council scheduled the public hearing for the next meeting and said the item will be on the agenda for public comment and hearing procedures.
Ending: The council said more detail will be available at the public hearing and encouraged residents affected by Lafayette Street parking to attend.
