the Town of Wappinger, to prohibit parking along both sides of Front Street from its intersection

Section L• Title.
This Local Law shall be known and cited as Town of Wappinger "Local Law No. 4 of 2017,
Amending Section 230-46 of the Code of the Town of Wappinger, to prohibit parking along both
sides of Front Street from its intersection with Bank Street heading in a northerly direction to its
termination at the Hudson River."
Section IL• Legislative Intent.
Based on the recommendation of the Supervisor of Buildings and Grounds, it is the
determination of the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger that parking be prohibited along both
sides of Front Street from its intersection with Bank Street heading in a northerly direction to its
termination at the Hudson River. Front Street terminates at a boat launch which is owned and
maintained by the Town. The boat launch is used to launch various water crafts, including kayaks,
jet skis, sailboats and motorboats. Once individuals have launched their water craft, many have been
parking their vehicles and trailers along Front Street, impeding and blocking others' access to the
boat launch and causing general traffic congestion for the nearby streets. The Town Board has
determined that it is in the best interest of public safety, motorists and pedestrians who utilize the
boat launch and the surrounding neighbors that parking be prohibited as previously indicated.
Accordingly, it is the expressed determination of the Town Board that it is in the best interest of the
public health, safety and welfare of the residents of the Town of Wappinger to prohibit parking
