City moves to curb Center Street parking by resident only rule
Garden City commissioners on Tuesday designated the west side of Center Street and a cul de sac as resident only parking to ease daily 5000 vehicle traffic along a 30 mph corridor from Harding Avenue to Pershing Avenue. Residents and YMCA leaders say reduced street parking will boost pedestrian safety, though enforcement may be challenging, while officials cite existing restricted zones near schools and hospitals. The move accompanies budget discussions, an audit summary, and a plan to extend fire service agreements with Garfield Township.
