Passaic council unanimously approves disabled-parking and Lexington Ave. bus-stop ordinances; introduces parking-permit measure
Summary
The council approved two ordinances on second reading — amending restricted disabled parking by New Jersey license plate and adding a bus stop on Lexington Avenue — and introduced a parking‑permit ordinance for first reading with a Dec. 2, 2025 hearing.
The Passaic City Council approved multiple routine items and adopted two ordinances on Nov. 6 by unanimous roll call.
Minutes from May 6, 2025 were approved after a motion, and later the council opened and closed public hearings and adopted proposed ordinance 25‑02‑45, which amends the designation of restricted parking for disabled persons using New Jersey license plate numbers. Council members recorded affirmative roll‑call votes from Councilman Love, Councilwoman Mello, Councilman Mayer, Councilwoman Colombo Muntenez and Council President Schaer.
The council also adopted proposed ordinance 25‑03‑25 to amend Chapter 295 (Vehicles and Traffic) by adding a bus stop on Lexington Avenue. Both ordinances passed after motions and roll‑call votes with all present members voting "yes." The meeting record does not specify the text of individual movers and seconders beyond the standard "moved" and "second."
Council introduced a separate ordinance (first reading) to add Part 12 (parking permits) to Chapter 295, with a second and final hearing set for Dec. 2, 2025; that introduction was approved by roll call. The council also approved consent items numbered 3 through 15 and separate item 16 by unanimous roll call.
The public was reminded that disabled‑parking designations require a medical application to Motor Vehicles and that the city enforces abuse of specific reserved spaces when verified by police or engineering staff.
