Groton council designates resident‑only parking permit areas, removes some two‑hour zones
Summary
The council adopted R‑26‑08‑89 to designate resident‑only parking permit areas across multiple streets and to remove several two‑hour parking zones; the mayor emphasized use of the mayor’s traffic authority to set hourly parking as needed.
Councilor Meboese presented R‑26‑08‑89 to designate resident‑only parking permit areas and to remove several two‑hour parking zones listed in the resolution. Mayor Ruskin explained that, as city traffic authority, the mayor has the authority to designate hourly parking within established zones and that resident guest passes remain available under the ordinance.
Councilors discussed logistics, temporary exceptions for events, and the capacity for benches at park overlooks during other items; staff said the resolution provides flexibility so enforcement and traffic staff can adjust posted time limits as needed. The resolution passed unanimously.
