HALFWAY — Officials with the City of Halfway are addressing a safety issue in town. Mayor Nora Aspy released a letter recently on behalf of the city council and staff requesting help in reminding motorists not to park in yellow “no parking” zones and safety corridors. The letter explains that, “Having vehicles consistently parked in those spaces reduces visibility for pedestrians and other drivers.” Businesses are asked to remind patrons who park in “no parking” zones of the safety hazards involved. Find Mayor Aspy’s letter below:

(Release from Halfway Mayor Nora Aspy)

Hello Neighbor,

The City of Halfway s requesting assistance in public safety. We have seen an increased amount of parking in Yellow “no parking zones” or “safety corridors”. While we acknowledge this is not an obligation you as a business owner on Main Street carry, we humbly ask for your help in reminding individuals that those areas are marked as a Yellow “no parking zone” as a matter of public safety. Having vehicles consistently parked in those spaces reduces visibility for pedestrians and other drivers. Please help us keep our neighbors and children safe. Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

Sincerely,

Mayor Nora Aspy, City Council, and City Staff

(Disclosure: ODOT is expected to be working on installing or repairing ADA Compliant ramps and curbs along Main Street and East Record this year. There may be disruptions in marked “no parking zones”. However public safety is our utmost concern. “No parking zones” will be visibly marked as available.)
