Council introduces no-parking ordinance to accommodate resident transport

The Borough of Kenilworth introduced Ordinance 2025-14 to amend the traffic code and add a 15-foot no-parking zone during specified hours to accommodate transportation for a developmentally disabled resident.

Council members described the measure as a targeted, location-specific accommodation for one home where the street is narrow and a transport van needs space to drop off and pick up. The chief confirmed the restriction would be specific to the address and would be revoked if the resident relocates. Council members noted the change would only apply during certain pick-up/drop-off hours Monday through Friday and that enforcement and reassessment would follow if circumstances change.

A motion to introduce Ordinance 2025-14 passed on roll-call; the public hearing and adoption were scheduled for the Dec. 3, 2025 council meeting at 6 p.m.

Provenance: introduction and roll-call vote are recorded in the meeting transcript around the ordinance item.
