Council asks Lakeside HOA to restrict one-side parking after emergency-access concerns

Trappe Town Council · April 2, 2025

Summary

After the fire department reported difficulties accessing some Lakeside streets when cars are parked on both sides, the council voted to send a letter to the Lakeside HOA asking it to prohibit parking on one side of the street for public safety; First Sgt. Aita said he would explore options with the Sheriff’s Department.

President Schmidt relayed that the fire department has raised concerns about emergency vehicles being unable to get down some Lakeside streets when cars are parked on both sides. First Sgt. Aita said he would "look into the issue and see what the Sheriff’s Department can do to help alleviate the problem."

Following the discussion Commissioner Jeremy Newnam moved that the Town send a letter to the Lakeside HOA requesting that they prohibit parking on one side of the street for public safety. President Schmidt seconded the motion and it was approved unanimously. The minutes do not record specific enforcement steps, a timeline for HOA response, or whether the town will pursue parking ordinances if the HOA does not act.
