Council bans parking on sections of Cedar Road, Shay Drive and Ryel Road and limits parking during school hours on Mil Road
Summary
On final reading the New Milford Mayor and Council adopted a traffic ordinance amending parking prohibitions on several streets (Cedar Road, Shay Drive, Ryel Road) and restricting parking on Mil Road during specified school hours, citing safety concerns recommended by the traffic officer and police.
The New Milford Mayor and Council adopted an ordinance amending Chapter 7 (traffic) to prohibit parking on specific street sections and to limit parking on Mil Road during certain school‑day hours.
Mayor Michael Katrino read the amendment and opened the public hearing; no members of the public came forward. The council then voted on final reading and recorded affirmative roll‑call votes.
The ordinance amends subsections 7‑3.3 (parking prohibited at all times on certain streets) and 7‑3.4 (parking prohibited during certain hours on certain streets). The administration said the changes respond to safety concerns flagged by the traffic officer and the police department, specifically to protect school‑day traffic flow on Mil Road and to address hazardous parking on the listed sections of Cedar Road, Shay Drive and Ryel Road.
The clerk will publish the adopted ordinance and note the effective dates and enforcement provisions. No enforcement timetable or fine schedule was announced during the meeting.
