2629-21 LEGISLATIVE HISTORY Ashland Avenue, between Lakeside Avenue and Park Avenue has historically been a Two-Way traffic street with Alternate Side Parking adjoining the residential portion from Park Avenue to Charles Street, and a mix of No Parking and Loading Zones adjacent to the old Edison factory. Upon creation of the Edison Lofts development, these parking regulations are now outdated. Parking on both sides of the street is needed to meet the parking demand. To affectively allow parking on both sides the two-way traffic flow must be eliminated to avoid congestion. To eliminate this hazard, the Township Engineer and the West Orange Police Department Traffic Division propose changing Ashland Avenue between Lakeside Avenue and Park Avenue to a one-way street flowing northbound. This will eliminate traffic congestion in the neighborhood, and allow street parking on both sides, except for street cleaning, snow control and a loading area at the entrance to the Edison Lofts. These ordinance amendments will allow these changes to be implemented and the one way and parking regulations will be consistent with the block of Ashland Avenue from White Street north to Park Avenue. This too is one way northbound with parking permitted on both sides except for street cleaning and snow control.
