Parking rule change in Cedarhurst

By Jewish Star Staff

The Board of Trustees of the Village of Cedarhurst voted to change the parking restrictions in response to a petition from members of Congregation Tifereth Zvi.

Deputy Mayor Ben Weinstock said the village received the petition from the shul and it was supported by a large number of residents on Columbia Avenue.

“There was no opposition,” he said. “Some questions, but no opposition.”

The new rules will enable shul members to park a car before Shabbos, since Shabbos never begins earlier than 4 p.m., Weinstock said.

Previously, no vehicle was allowed on the street between 3 and 5 a.m. and a two-hour parking limit was in effect on weekdays. The overnight parking regulations have been rescinded completely and the two-hour parking limit will now only be in effect from Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The new parking laws go into in effect immediately.
