Notice of Public Hearing: Center Street parking

CANASTOTA, NY – The Village of Canastota is considering amending the parking codes for Center Street.

The revised law would eliminate on-street parking on the north side of Center Street between S. Main Street and Chapman Place, and extend the no parking zone on E. Center Street to 75 feet from the intersection with S. Peterboro Street (next to New York Pizzeria).

After consultation with the School District, Department of Public Works, and Police Department, the Board of Trustees and Village office have concluded that the west end of Center Street near S. Main Street is too narrow to safely accommodate large vehicles such as trucks, buses, emergency vehicles and snowplows when cars are parked on both sides of the street, particularly in the winter when there is also snow buildup along the curbs.

Anyone who is interested in registering their opinion on this matter is encouraged to participate in the public hearing at the date and time listed in the public notice below.
