Draft downtown parking ordinance moved to warrant after committee report
Summary
An ordinance committee presented a revised downtown parking ordinance and map; the Select Board voted to place the ordinance on the town-meeting warrant and to send the draft to the solicitor for legal review.
The North Haven ordinance committee recommended a updated downtown parking ordinance and map that would formalize marked spaces, 15-minute loading spots, and no-overnight zones along Main Street and near the ferry terminal.
Committee members said field measurements identified several additional spaces and recommended painting lines and refreshed signage as part of implementation. The board discussed enforcement logistics, the town office’s capacity to pursue unpaid fines, and the value of coordinating painting and signage with road sweeping. The board voted to place the ordinance on the town-meeting warrant and asked staff to forward the draft to the town solicitor for review before the posted public hearing.
Board members emphasized that some elements (signage, exact paint placement) can be adjusted prior to final adoption and asked the committee to prepare clear maps for the public hearing.
