Local Law No. 9 – 2015
This local law shall be known as the “Restriction on Parking on a Section of the West Side
of Palmer Avenue and the Expansion of Overnight Parking on a Section of the West Side of Palmer
Avenue” Law.
BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Mamaroneck
Section 1 – Purpose:
Palmer Avenue between Weaver Street and Richbell Road has traffic congestion issues due
to the proximity of Central School, particularly when the students are being dropped off or picked
up. During those periods especially there would be a distinct advantage in having two
southbound lanes of traffic so that while the left lane serves as a queue for motor vehicles making
a left turn into the Central School campus, the right lane can carry traffic southbound unimpeded
by motor vehicles waiting to make left turns.
There also is a need for overnight parking for both the residents of Palmer Avenue
between Blossom Terrace and Richbell Road and the residents of the nearby Larchmont Acres
apartments.
This local law addresses both of these issues.
Section 2 – Regulation of Parking on a section of Palmer Avenue:
No motor vehicle shall be parked on that section of the west side of Palmer Avenue which
lies between Blossom Terrace and Weaver Street.
Section 3– Expansion of Overnight Parking on a section of Palmer Avenue:
Motor vehicles may be parked on that section of the west side of Palmer Avenue which
lies between Blossom Terrace and Richbell Road between the hours of 3:00 AM and 6:00 AM.
Section 4 – Sign(s) to be Erected and Painting to be Done:
An appropriate sign or signs shall be erected on and/or above, and/or striping shall be
painted on the surface of Palmer Avenue indicating where and when parking is prohibited by this
law.
Section 5 – Severability:
Should any provision of this Local Law be declared invalid or unconstitutional by any court
of competent jurisdiction, such declaration of unconstitutionality or invalidity shall not affect any
other provisions of this Local Law, which may be implemented without the invalid or
unconstitutional provisions.
Section 6 – Effective Date:
This Local Law shall become effective upon filing with the Secretary of State.
