Resident urges pedestrian-safety review and questions new parking meters
Summary
Patrick Jones of Elizabeth urged the county to address pedestrian safety near Pearl Street and Broad and raised concerns that new parking meters lack clear posted hours; the county manager asked for contact details to follow up.
Patrick Jones, an Elizabeth resident, addressed the board to raise pedestrian-safety concerns near the courthouse and to ask whether the county was collaborating with local officials and media about crosswalk safety. Jones said he had noticed new parking meters and argued the meters were confusing because they did not clearly display hours of operation.
"They're deceiving the public by not letting them know the hours of operation," Jones said during public comment. The county manager asked Jones to provide his contact information to the clerk after the meeting so county staff could follow up about pedestrian safety on Pearl Street.
