Council approves RFP to hire engineers for parking and circulation study near 21 Fairhaven Road
Summary
Responding to advisory committee recommendations, council authorized an RFP to the borough's on‑call engineers for a parking and circulation study (normative cap discussed at $15,000) to inform a concept plan for 21 Fairhaven Road and Normandy Park.
Council discussed an advisory-committee recommendation to commission a parking and circulation study for the 21 Fairhaven Road/Normandy Park area to capture summer usage patterns and support a concept plan being prepared by Stevens Institute of Technology. Staff proposed using on‑call municipal engineers and recommended a not‑to‑exceed cap; council settled quickly around a $15,000 cap and voted to issue the RFP.
Mayor and planning staff framed the study as timely because soft-cost capital funds are now available and summer conditions would provide useful data. Council asked for a scope that would analyze current circulation, suggest traffic‑calming opportunities and provide options that could be used to support grant applications and future capital work.
