Description
There is a silver car and a commercial very large box truck that as late as 3/1/11 has been parking from time to time in the dedicated turn around at the left side end of Mark Lane. This is a "NO Parking" spot as indicated by more than one sign. It was made and trees were taken down by taxpayer's money to make a turnaround for the garbage trucks, UPS, FedEx, town vehicles and recycling vehicles so they would not need to turn around in private driveways. Due to this being blocked many times, cars and trucks are still turning around in people's driveways. The parking there is not being enforced all the time. Police are not monitoring it for illegal parking. No one over night or during the day should be parking there. This is also allowing a green light for minors to be parking their cars there. We've found beer bottles and cans to indicate people sitting their and drinking. The Police officers that have come back there ask to be contacted if anyone is parking there or along Mark Lane that is not a recognized car. The Lane is far to narrow for people to park in the street. Please check this and forward it from time to time to the local Roxbury Township Police. Thank you.

A request was submitted last month for consideration of an ordinance prohibiting parking for that area. Without the ordinance, a parking ban cannot be enforced. I have visited Mark Lane numerous times and only once found a car parked there. I spoke to the owner (one of the tenants), and he agreed not to park there in the future.
In the meantime, please contact the Public Works office if parked vehicles are observed in the turnaround. The number can be found on the Township's website.

Finally for the last 1 1/2 weeks there has been no parking in the turn around. Home owners have a little peace of strangers pulling into driveways and or parking and blocking driveways.
We are all hoping the ordinance prohibiting parking in the turn around is enforced and passed. Thank you.
