New Milford council adopts traffic ordinance banning stopping and standing on three streets
Summary
The mayor and council adopted Ordinance 2025 col 29 to prohibit stopping or standing on Robert Chester Way, Columbia Street and Raywoods Lane at the Kennedy Field Complex after a police traffic officer cited safety concerns; there was no public comment.
The Mayor and Council of the Borough of New Milford adopted Ordinance 2025 col 29 on final reading to amend borough traffic rules and prohibit stopping or standing on both sides of Robert Chester Way, Columbia Street and Raywoods Lane at the Kennedy Field Complex.
Clerk read the ordinance language and said the change was recommended by the borough traffic officer because of safety concerns. The council opened the hearing to the public; no residents came forward. The council then moved to adopt the measure on final reading and completed a roll call, with all members recorded in favor.
The ordinance text amends chapter 7 of the borough’s traffic code to add the three streets to the list where stopping or standing is prohibited during specified hours for safety. Officials said the change follows the police department’s recommendation and is intended to reduce conflict and improve vehicle and pedestrian safety near the Kennedy Field Complex.
The ordinance was adopted at the work session; the council did not receive public comment and did not attach any amendments. The clerk will publish the final ordinance as required by law.
