Visitor warns Centennial Park parking could block emergency vehicles
Summary
At the June 10 meeting, visitor James Polhemus warned that event parking on both sides of the road near Centennial Park "would be impossible to get emergency vehicles through if needed," and Supervisor Giuda said he would relay the concern to the Village Mayor.
A visitor told the Town of Butternuts board on June 10 that parking during activities at Centennial Park can obstruct the roadway and impede emergency response. James Polhemus said that when cars park on both sides of the road during park events "it would be impossible to get emergency vehicles through if needed," and asked the board to address the risk.
Supervisor Bruce Giuda said he would relay Polhemus’s concern to Village Mayor Aidan Woishnis. The minutes do not record further action or a directive to Highway staff; there is no motion to change parking rules or to initiate enforcement. The record names the concern and the intended referral but does not include follow-up steps, an enforcement plan, or mention of prior incidents.
