On June 23 the Paterson Municipal Council approved a resolution transferring 28 taxi cab registrations from Taxi Patterson LLC to New Jersey Yellow Cab Taxi Service LLC, listed at 742 River Street. The resolution passed on roll call; recorded votes in the transcript show seven yeses and two absences.
During discussion council members asked where the vehicles would be parked and noted several past complaints about cabs occupying street parking near a mattress company on River Street. Councilman Khalik and others said the parking location should be attached to the resolution or included in the application; the clerk and staff said parking requirements are part of applications kept in the licenses department and agreed to circulate the full application materials to council members after the meeting.
Council members emphasized they do not want new operators to use curb space intended for residents and asked that the licensing office confirm a parking lease or identified off-street location before vehicles begin operations.
Action: transfer approved; clerk to circulate applications and staff to confirm parking arrangements and enforcement procedures.
