Resident urges action as council advances no-parking ordinance for Pulis/Coolidge area
Summary
After a second reading of a no-parking ordinance for Pulis Road (transcript refers to 'Pulis' and 'Coolest' Road), long-time resident James Marsh urged the council to address blocked driveways and speeding; council members noted prior enforcement steps including a radar trailer deployment.
The council considered a second reading of Ordinance 2026-8 proposing no-parking restrictions along the Pulis Road corridor (transcript phrasing: "Pulis Road" and repeatedly refers to a nearby street as "Coolest Road").
Resident James Marsh spoke during public comment, identifying himself as "James Marsh, 22" (address given in the transcript) and said: "Parking on Coolest Road is out of control. You can't get through 0.5 the time." Marsh told the council that parked cars sometimes prevent passage for vehicles and emergency responders and that drivers frequently ignore a stop sign, contributing to safety concerns.
Council members responded that the ordinance was intended to protect residents' access to their driveways while discouraging business or event parking in front of homes. One council member said the town has already deployed a radar trailer on Lonsdale and plans to move it to Coolidge/Coolest and Pine Orchard to deter speeding; the transcript records that officers previously issued tickets at the stop sign.
The council took a roll call after public comment; the transcript records affirmative responses from named members Jen, Jason, Mark and Mary Beth. The transcript does not provide the precise final ordinance language nor the full roll-call roster for every seat.
