Mahwah carries introduction of U-turn ban ordinance to Jan. 22
Summary
Ordinance No. 2080, which would amend the township code to prohibit U-turns on Martis Place and Reid Court, was introduced Jan. 5 and carried to the council's Jan. 22 meeting for further consideration.
The Mahwah Township Council on Jan. 5 read the title of Ordinance No. 2080, an amendment to Chapter 7 of the Township Code that would prohibit U-turns on Martis Place and Reid Court "to protect public health, safety and welfare." Council President Robert M. Ferguson, III announced the ordinance introduction would be carried to the Jan. 22, 2026 meeting; no public comment or further debate on the ordinance was recorded at the Jan. 5 session.
Why it matters: The change would alter traffic rules on two local streets and could affect enforcement and signage if adopted. The council provided notice of the continuation date so residents and stakeholders have an opportunity to review the ordinance before the next meeting.
The ordinance title was read into the record as required for introduction. The minutes note the ordinance will be carried to the Jan. 22 meeting; the Jan. 22 agenda is the next scheduled opportunity for council discussion, public hearing (if required), and any vote.
The municipal clerk's office maintains the ordinance text and related materials for public inspection.
