Hurricane Sandy Postpones Parking Meeting

A meeting scheduled for Monday evening to discuss parking options for residents of the Historic District has been postponed due to Hurricane Sandy.

Steve Lafferty, in the county's Planning and Zoning Department, said Sunday afternoon that although the weather is unpredictable, "All indications are that we will not want to encourage people to be on the roads for a meeting."

Hurricane Sandy is scheduled to reach New Jersey late Tuesday night/early Wednesday morning, but high winds and heavy rains are expected to begin Sunday night. 

Lafferty said the meeting will be rescheduled. "I am sorry we have to change the date but I believe it is the wiser path," he wrote in an email.

The meeting was scheduled to discuss ways to incorporate residential parking into the county's new parking project to install meters on Main Street and Maryland Avenue.
