The Rockwell St Incident


At the last VB meeting 10.27.09  Mr. Martin,  came to the board with a concern regarding The No Parking This Side of Street ordinance.  No vehicles are allowed to park on the right side of Rockwell from Church St to Riverside Dr.  He complained that the enforcement was selective.  The VB said that selective enforcement of village laws and ordinances does not exist.  The board stressed that village laws are followed to the letter.  The VB stated that they would place warnings on windshields of vehicles in violation of the no parking law.  This would include church goers as well as residents.  The Pizza Place [as it was referred to by the VB] is also in violation of the no parking of vehicles on village sidewalks.  Since that meeting I have noticed no change in any parking habits nor have I seen any warnings given.  Selective enforcement appears to be the rule not the exception.

FYI: I witnessed first hand today a village officer driving down Catherine Ave. at around 2 o'clock pm towards a vehicle parked illegally. The only thing the officer did was slow down & drive around the vehicle. No warning, no ticket.

Oh my lordy,
ticket that vehicle,tow that vehicle and have the owner locked up immediately. What do you want tickets everywhere. Chill out and micro manage something else would ya.
Let the NY State Police handle it, they spend hours everyday on our Rt 12 median watching for terrorists, cell phones and seat belts. Do we really need VILLAGE POLICE also?
