November 19, 2014 THE VILLADOM TIMES I • Page 9 Wyckoff Park & Ride sales brisk; enforcement rules updated by John Koster Wyckoff Clerk Joyce Santimauro recently reported that the township has already sold 160 Park & Ride tickets for the Cornerstone Christian Church parking lot, which is used weekdays for commuter parking. Permits will remain available at the clerk’s office until Nov. 24. They are priced at $125 per Wyckoff resident with a limit of one permit per family. After Nov. 24, Wyckoff families may purchase a second commuter parking permit for an additional $125. Any 2015 permits left over until Dec. 1 may be purchased by non-residents for $300 each. Commuters who are not in time to purchase one of the 300 parking permits available will be placed on a waiting list in case any permits become available during the year. The fee for the replacement of a lost or stolen permit is $25. The 2014 permits cost $65 for a resident and $200 for a non-resi- dent. The Wyckoff Township Committee increased the fees for the permits after comparing commuter parking permit fees in similar northwest Bergen County towns. The ordinances scheduled for adop- tion at the public meeting last Monday -- a special scheduling due to the League of Municipalities meeting later in the week - - were intended to bring regulations up to date in terms of enforcement. Ordinance 1775 amends the parking time period at the weekday commuter lot at Cornerstone Christian Church from the previously stated 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. to a 5:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. term to reflect park- ing regulations as already understood and enforced. No vehicles not covered by municipal commuter parking permits will be allowed to use the lot Monday through Friday unless the occupants of the parked cars are mem- bers of the Cornerstone Christian Church, are parked in connection with church busi- ness and operations, or are attending church functions. Ordinance 1756 provides that park- ing at the adjacent Wyckoff Community Park lot is limited to 5:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekdays. Vehicles must display a current Wyckoff parking permit unless the opera- tors of the vehicles are coaches or partici- pants in recreational events taking place at the park’s sports fields, residents enjoying passive forms of recreation at the commu- nity park, or residents who have permission from the Wyckoff Chief of Police. Motorists must obtain current park- ing permits in the manner required by the Wyckoff Police Department through the office of the township clerk. These are different from the Park & Ride permits required to park Monday through Friday at the Cornerstone Christian Church com- muter lot. Wyckoff has discussed the pos- sibility of a capital improvement project to add an additional 60 spaces from the Wyckoff Community Park lot to the com- muter parking, but that tentative discussion was not reflected in the present ordinance.
