FERGUSON / LAZARONY PROPOSE NEW REVISED PARKING LAWS
FREDONIA, NY - Recently, the Mayor and Village Board of Trustees proposed new regulations for Village parking in the downtown core that met with very mixed emotions. The Village was entering into a contract with HONK! Parking Solutions which would have replaced the village's outdated and often broken meters with QR Code technology. This would have required both residents and visitors to use their cellphones for parking transactions or purchase an annual permit which would allow residents to park anywhere in the village for two hours.
The proposal was met with mixed reactions. Most reactions were negative towards the idea. Fredonia Mayor, Michael Ferguson has proposed a new set of parking laws and regulations for the community. "I pride myself on being an advocate and supporter of shopping, dining and conducting business in our village." stated Ferguson. "I know I have spoken about the increase in business on the Route 60 corridor and the impact it is having on downtown businesses. Many are choosing not to make that turn from Rt 60 to Rt 20."
After listening to residents, family and visitors to the area, Ferguson reached out to Lazarony with a new idea: why not remove the meters completely and simply replace them with "two hour" parking signs? "The idea is to encourage residents, visitors and students to come downtown, not to make it more difficult for them to enjoy our community," said the Mayor. Both the Mayor and Trustee Lazarony sat down with Police Chief Greg Myers as well as Fire Chief Joshua Myers, both members of the Villages new Emergency Management Team and they were in agreement that the idea was very manageable.
To offset some of the revenue lost under the new law, Trustee Lazarony suggested to the Mayor—after speaking with members of the Village Board including the newest member Timothy Mulholland— Lazarony suggested the village enact a monthly fee of $25.00 for residents who want or need twenty-four-hour parking in the East or West Public lots."We understand the need for overnight parking for some of our residents and students along with the need for our DPW team to be able to clear and maintain these spaces throughout the winter months. said Lazarony. "The anticipated revenue from permitted parking will help to compensate for the loss of the meter revenue."
The new parking law will be written before an open Public Meeting on the proposal before the new law can be enacted. Ferguson, along with DPW Supervisor Jennis Merrill want to place a new "no parking law" for both sides of Forest Place as part this proposal as well. Merrill stated that the narrow road becomes even more difficult to traverse when a single car parks on the street much less two or more making it nearly impossible.
