Stop Unfair Overnight Parking Fees for Pending Permit Applications in Garfield, NJ

The Issue

Residents of Garfield, NJ, deserve a fair and reasonable parking permit process! Currently, new applicants must pay $5 per night while waiting for approval—even though the process takes 5+ business days, and City Hall is only open 4 days a week!

This policy:
🚫 Unfairly charges residents for delays beyond their control.
💰 Adds unnecessary financial strain, especially for families.
⏳ Creates an inefficient system where residents pay more than the actual permit fee.

We Demand a Fair Solution!
✅ A grace period allowing overnight parking while the permit is pending.
✅ A fee waiver for temporary permits during the waiting period.
✅ Faster processing times (1-2 days instead of 5-6).

📢 Sign this petition to demand change! Let’s make Garfield’s parking rules fairer for residents!
