Princeton Today: Princeton Parking Task Force

The parking task force for the town of Princeton will hold its first meeting to discuss overnight parking at noon today in meeting room B at the municipal building at 400 Witherspoon Street.

The task force will review of former Princeton Township and former Princeton Borough overnight parking regulations and types of overnight parking, including street parking, parking lots, garages and permits. The task force will also look at requirements, exceptions, the rationale for continuing to restrict overnight parking, and what other towns do. Officials will also identify alternatives for further study.

Task force members include Princeton Council members Bernie Miller, Jenny Crumiller, and Jo Butler, as well as representatives from the administration, engineering department, police department, and public works department.
