BOROUGH WINS PERMIT-PARKING LAWSUIT
The ordinance upheld in the case was largely aimed at addressing concerns raised by Hudson Avenue residents about postal workers.
Red Bank has defeated a legal challenge to its authority to create residential permit-parking zones.
Superior Court Judge Lawrence Lawson last week issued a decision that rejected the arguments by a lawyer for Tai Truong, a mail carrier who contended that such a zone on Hudson Avenue was unconstitutional.
The 20-page decision, which follows a one-day trial in Freehold in March, also found that the borough had not improperly conferred special rights on Hudson Avenue residents.
“The courts give a huge amount of deference to everything that municipalities do,” attorney Bill McCarter tells redbankgreen.
