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

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!
