Several neighbors told Narberth Borough Council they want relief from persistent, long‑term parking by one household and attendant construction vehicles on Stephanie Place.
“At times they park all four of their cars on our street...they were there till 4 or 5 every day,” resident Whitey Lord told council, asking the borough to create a two‑hour parking zone and to add a no‑parking sign near a corner. At the meeting Demidra Haynes, of 1048 Montgomery Avenue, said she has experienced months of daily parking that sometimes blocks her driveway and could impede emergency vehicle access.
Council and staff explained the formal petition process: a standard 60% support threshold applies in most cases, but when a short block has fewer than five addressed houses staff will apply a special provision. Staff advised collecting signatures from the four houses that have frontages on Stephanie Place and bringing them to the borough manager; the public health & safety committee would review any petition and make a recommendation to full council.
Council also noted that accessible (handicap) on‑street spaces can be requested with physician verification and police review. Staff said practical interim steps — courtesy outreach to the parking household and informal coordination with nearby townships or parking providers — are options before initiating the formal process.
What’s next: staff will place petition instructions online and the borough will consider a handicap accommodation separately if residents qualify.
