This local law shall be known as the "No Parking Near 40 North Chatsworth Avenue" Law.
BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Mamaroneck
Section 1 - Purpose:
The purpose of this local law is to create a no parking zone around 40 North Chatsworth
Avenue as a means of improving sight lines at that location and thereby improving safety.
The Town Board finds that this stretch of North Chatsworth Avenue has a particularly high
volume of traffic and also is on the slope of a hill. Due to the change in grade, the speed of
traffic along this stretch of North Chatsworth Avenue heading toward the Village of
Larchmont tends to increase, making it more difficult for that traffic to slow down as
vehicles leaving 40 North Chatsworth Avenue enter into the lanes of traffic on North
Chatsworth Avenue. A solution to this problem is to create a "no parking" zone along each
side of the driveway serving 40 North Chatsworth Avenue. This wider expanse will create
better visibility for drivers of vehicles leaving 40 North Chatsworth Avenue, thereby
reducing the risk of collisions.
Section 2 - No Parking:
(a) Parking on the east side of 40 North Chatsworth Avenue for a distance of six (6) feet
north of the point where the north side of the driveway for the property known as 40 North
Chatsworth Avenue meets the roadbed of North Chatsworth Avenue is prohibited.
(b) Parking on the east side of 40 North Chatsworth Avenue for a distance of six (6) feet
south of the point where the south side of the driveway for the property known as 40 North
Chatsworth Avenue meets the roadbed of North Chatsworth Avenue is prohibited.
Section 3 - Sign(s) to be Erected and Painting to be Done:
An appropriate sign or signs shall be erected on, and striping painted on the surface of
North Chatsworth Avenue indicating the area where parking is prohibited.
Section 4 - 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 5 - Effective Date:
This Local Law shall become effective upon filing with the Secretary of State.
