At a glance: Princeton council approves restricted‑parking ordinance and multiple professional services contracts
Summary
Council adopted Ordinance 26‑16 designating restricted parking spaces for people with disabilities, and approved a slate of resolutions including professional‑services awards, a roadway resurfacing contract and dam inspections. Several items were approved unanimously on voice or roll‑call votes.
The Princeton Mayor and Council approved several ordinance and resolution items on March 23, 2026. Highlights include:
Ordinance 26‑16 — Restricted parking for persons with disabilities: After a public hearing and staff summary, the council adopted Ordinance 26‑16 to add and update restricted parking locations, including spaces on Clay Street and Lee Avenue and updates to municipal lots. Staff said signage and striping will follow ADA guidance and require placards or disabled plates to use those spaces. Leticia moved the ordinance and Michelle Peron Lambros seconded; roll call was recorded as unanimous in favor.
Key contract and resolution approvals (consent and individual votes): - Professional services to LRK Inc. for redevelopment planning at the Franklin/Maple site (not to exceed $50,000). - Executive search services to Phoenix Consulting Group LLC (not to exceed $15,500). - Legal services agreements related to PCRD litigation and planning‑board representation (several contract actions totaling not to exceed the amounts listed in the agenda packet). - Stormwater Management Consulting LLC: additional hydrologic/hydraulic analysis and emergency action plan updates for municipal dams (not to exceed $76,728). - CCM Contracting Inc.: award for 2026 roadway resurfacing (low bid; not to exceed $1,935,072.17). - Amendment to Catholic Charities contract to add emergency housing services (increase not to exceed $25,000; new not‑to‑exceed $81,169.08).
Council also approved other routine consent items and an emergency temporary appropriation resolution tied to the 2026 current fund.
Why this matters: The adopted ordinance formalizes accessibility parking changes and the consent resolutions allocate municipal funds for infrastructure, planning and legal services. The resurfacing contract and dam analyses concern public infrastructure maintenance; litigation‑related legal agreements drew council comments about tracking cumulative costs.
Votes & next steps: Most items were approved by voice or roll call with unanimous or broad support. Staff will implement signage and contract task orders, and the council requested staff provide cumulative costs for ongoing litigation in future reports.
