Officials consider Palenville no-parking zones

Jim Planck is reporting in The Daily Mail officials in the town of Catskill are considering the creation of additional, and better defined no-parking zones. The proposal was prompted by concerns raised by residents in the hamlet of Palenville about cars parked at swimming holes, and blocking pedestrian pathways where there are no sidewalks. Drivers are also reported to have removed 'no parking' signs and homeowners are confronted by illegally parked vehicles on their property. At a meeting of the town board last week town attorney Michael Smith said the wording of two Catskill local laws cause difficulty with enforcement. Smith suggested that for the board to correct the two laws, input from the public would be appropriate. “We need to have the folks in Palenville identify the streets where there should be no parking,” Smith said. Resident Crane Davis said residents would review the roads and work up a list of potential no-parking areas to be included in the proposed new law. Read the full story in The Daily Mail.
