Committee approves handicapped parking additions near Waterfront Park
Summary
The committee approved a resolution to add handicapped parking spaces near Waterfront Park and adjacent street ends, with members agreeing on specific block selections while avoiding placement at a blind corner.
The committee approved a resolution authorizing new handicapped parking spaces on the east side of Delaware Avenue near Waterfront Park (Willow and Union) and discussed extending spaces to other street ends such as Edgewood, Maple and Walnut with careful placement to avoid blind corners.
Committee members and the police chief discussed practical placement constraints; one member warned against locating a space on a tight, blind corner at Cedar while others recommended starting at Willow and moving through select blocks. The motion was approved by roll call.
Why it matters: the change improves park accessibility for residents and visitors by creating dedicated handicap-accessible parking adjacent to waterfront amenities. Staff will mark and install signage as directed by the resolution.
