Agenda:
Item 1: 12/1/20 Murphy – Ordered that the ordinance committee consider an ordinance which would create a penalty for any driver handing out anything from the car window as a traffic safety violation.
Item 2: Be it ordained by the City Council of the City of Holyoke as follows:
SECTION 1. Division 1. entitled “Generally” of Article IV entitled “Stopping,
Standing, Parking” of Chapter 86 entitled “Traffic and Vehicles” of the Revised Code of
Ordinances of the City of Holyoke, Massachusetts, 1997, as amended, is hereby further amended
by the following:
DELETING in its entirety:
Section 86-97 – All-night parking
No person shall allow, permit or suffer any vehicles registered in his name, other than one acting
in an emergency, to be parked on any street in the downtown area between the hours of 2:00 a.m.
and 7:00 a.m. of any day.
SECTION 2. All ordinances or parts of ordinances inconsistent herewith are hereby
repealed.
SECTION 3. This ordinance shall take effect on the date of passage.
Item 3: 5/7/19 Vacon – that a permanent speed feedback sign be placed near 300 Westfield Road to reduce speeding by drivers in the area. This is a persistent safety issue in the area.
