Greenwich codifies staff parking at high school and designates Division Street as residential parking

At its June 25 meeting the Board of Selectmen amended town traffic ordinances to match on-the-ground signage at Greenwich High and to create a residential parking zone on Division Street.

Deputy Chief James Bonnie told the board the Hillside Road change would align enforcement with signage, noting the staff-only area in front of the high school had been signed for years but was not codified in the ordinance. Brent Reeves, identified in the meeting as the school security director, attended and supported the request. "It's currently signed for staff parking, but it's not in the ordinance," Bonnie said, urging the board to ratify the signage so enforcement would be legitimate.

On Division Street, Bonnie said increased pressure from a nearby hospital and a planned building with an associated parking-lot exit have left residents with fewer on-street spaces; the board approved making the street a residential parking zone to protect local parking for nearby households.

Both measures passed with motions from Lauren Rabin and seconds by Rachel Khan; recorded votes were unanimous.

Implementation follow-ups include updating the official ordinance text and signage maps and scheduling town traffic staff to publish the amended maps and guidance for enforcement. The measures take effect immediately for enforcement purposes under the town's normal administrative procedures.
