The Issue

The alternate side parking regulations on Van Houten Avenue, High Street, and Pennington Avenue designate a 10:30 AM EST start time. This directly conflicts with the morning prayers (Shachris) at the Ahavas Israel Synagogue/ Shul, where services start as early as 6 AM EST and last until 10:30 AM EST. Due to the length of these services, which extends to 55 minutes on Mondays and Thursdays and approximately 45 minutes on other days, many people who come to pray have found themselves greatly inconvenienced. We request that the parking regulation's start time be delayed until noon EST. This small change could make a significant difference to our community and allow individuals to practice their faith without worry, minimizing disruptions to daily prayer. We urge city officials to take into consideration the faith practices and daily lives of the community members when establishing and adjusting parking regulations. We request your support in this matter. Please sign this petition to delay alternate side parking start timing from 10:30 AM EST to noon EST on the mentioned streets.
