Shrewsbury aldermen approve election‑day parking and road restrictions on Shrewsbury Avenue
Summary
The Shrewsbury Board of Aldermen approved no-parking restrictions on Shrewsbury Avenue for Nov. 5 polling hours and related road-closure measures; Police Chief Lisa Vargas said a no-parking notice will be sent Oct. 23.
At its Oct. 22 meeting the Shrewsbury Board of Aldermen approved no-parking restrictions on Shrewsbury Avenue between Weil and Hazel for Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 5. The Board also approved related road closures to manage traffic during polling hours.
Police Chief Lisa Vargas told the Board that polling places will be open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. and that election workers will be admitted to the building at 5 a.m. Vargas said the city will publish a no-parking notice via email and social media on Oct. 23. Alderman John Odenwald recommended expanding the closure (Lenox to Deville) to improve traffic flow; the Board approved the road closures on a motion from Odenwald, seconded by Alderman Presley Barker. The motion passed by voice vote; individual roll-call tallies were not recorded in the meeting minutes.
The minutes do not specify any enforcement detail or whether temporary signage and towing would be used; the Police Department was the point of contact for the public notice.
