ORDER OF THE NEW HAVEN BOARD OF ALDERS EXTENDING RESIDENTIAL PARKING ZONE 2 TO INCLUDE THE NONPERMITTED UNRESTRICTED PARKING SECTION ON THE NORTH SIDE OF HUNTINGTON STREET, RUNNING DOWN FROM, BUT NOT INCLUDING 23 HUNTINGTON STREET TO WHITNEY AVENUE.
body
WHEREAS: Residents in the area and First Presbyterian Church have submitted a petition asking that the short street section on the north side of Huntington St, running down to Whitney Ave and adjacent to the church property, be added to the existing residential parking zone for parking uniformly with the rest of the block, as Zone 2 Permit and 2-hour public parking; and
WHEREAS: this small section was not included when the permit parking zone was first established on Huntington St, as the church believed at the time that the absence of restrictions would provide more parking flexibility for people visiting the church. Most church visitors park on Huntington Street since the church lot holds seven cars; and
WHEREAS: the residents have stated that this nonzoned stretch of Huntington Street is being used as a parking lot for people who commute from elsewhere and then pick up the Yale Shuttle that stops on Huntington Street across from the church; and
WHEREAS: residents find it increasingly difficult to find parking on the street and live with the inconvenience of having to find parking further away from their homes; and
WHEREAS: area residents and First Presbyterian Church believe that extending residential parking zone 2 to include this small stretch on Huntington Street will be a great help to ease parking issues.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDERED by the New Haven Board of Alders that the existing Residential Parking Zone 2 Permit and 2-hour public parking be extended to include the nonpermitted unrestricted parking section on the north side of Huntington Street, running down from, but not including 23 Huntington street to Whitney Avenue.
