Because this stall cannot be restricted to a particular resident, any person with a handicapped plate or placard may park there. This space will be created in response to a request from the resident of No. 7 Wellington Avenue, who cannot have a dedicated restricted parking stall in front of her residence due to NJ State law, which supersedes Township parking ordinances. A Restricted Parking Stall will be established in front of 19 McKinley Avenue for the exclusive use of the resident who is in possession of a NJMVC Disability ID and Parking Placard.
