Residents raise parking, truck and speeding concerns during Paulsboro public comment
Summary
At the May 12 meeting residents asked for seniors' parking at the ambulance building, thanked officials for sewer repairs, complained about truck parking at 1545 Paul Ave and requested traffic calming and speed bumps on W. Washington Street.
During public comment on May 12 several residents raised localized quality-of-life concerns. Mary Harris asked that seniors be allowed to use a side lot in front of the ambulance building; Mayor Giovannitti granted the request. A resident identified as 'Sugar Ray' thanked officials for resolving a sewer problem on Greenwich Avenue. Jeff Hamilton complained about truck parking—specifically a tanker truck—at 1545 Paul Ave and noted the area is not commercially zoned; Administrator Marino said he will follow up with the Zoning Officer and requested evidence such as video if available.
Other public commenters asked about what is planned for Delaware Street; the mayor said the project is a storage building with an office for the owner and not a retail use. Mr. Elliot raised speeding concerns and asked about speed bumps; the mayor directed residents to the borough website's 'Report a Concern' function to route complaints to the appropriate department.
