Town board adopts local law extending no-parking zone on Burton Road
Summary
The Town Board adopted a local law extending a no-parking zone on Burton Road (60 feet from Palmer Avenue) after a public hearing; board members said the change improves driveway access and visibility for a new house.
The Town Board of the Town of Mamaroneck adopted a local law on June 4 extending a no-parking zone on Burton Road, moving the restriction 60 feet from its intersection with Palmer Avenue to improve access for a newly constructed house and to increase visibility.
The board opened a public hearing on the change, then discussed it on safety grounds. A board member who spoke in favor said that when vehicles are parked near the intersection it can make turns from Burton Road hazardous and that the modest extension would improve sightlines. The board moved to close the hearing and approved the local law by voice vote.
Town officials said the change was requested because a new house has a driveway that now fronts on Burton Road, and the extended restriction is intended to prevent parked cars from blocking access to that driveway. The board noted the amendment arose from a narrow, local concern rather than a broader traffic redesign.
The transcript records the board approving the local law at the meeting; the adoption was announced from the dais but the minutes do not state an effective date. No individual roll-call vote totals or individual named votes were recorded in the meeting transcript.
