Downtown Denville Parking News: What You Need To Know

We have some exciting news to share with the Denville community! After receiving valuable feedback from our community members, we have been working hand in hand with Denville Township to address the parking concerns in Downtown Denville. We are thrilled to announce the launch of a trial program aimed at improving parking in our downtown area.

We are incredibly grateful for the collaboration and support from Denville Township for this initiative. Together, we believe this trial program will greatly benefit our local businesses in Downtown Denville, and we cannot wait to witness the positive outcomes it brings.

New 90-Minute Parking Regulation Ordinance

Starting from Wednesday, November 1st, 2023, we will see a change in the Denville Downtown parking regulations. The following areas will be affected: Broadway, Center Street, Diamond Spring Road, East Main Street, First Avenue, and a portion of Second Avenue. The current one-hour parking limit will be modified to a 90-minute parking limit between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., Monday through Saturdays.

This extended time limit is being implemented as part of a trial period, set to expire on January 1, 2024, unless it is further extended by a majority vote of the Township Council. We encourage everyone to make the most of this trial period and provide valuable feedback to help shape the future of parking in Downtown Denville.

Enforcement and Consequences

Enforcement of this new parking ordinance will begin on November 1, 2023. It is important to note that any vehicle exceeding the 90-minute parking limit will be subject to a summons. We kindly request all community members and visitors to abide by this regulation to ensure a fair and efficient parking system that benefits everyone.

We would like to express our sincere appreciation for the feedback and support we have received from all of you. Your input is invaluable, and we greatly value your contribution to the vibrant and thriving Downtown Denville community.

As we embark on this trial program, we encourage everyone to continue supporting our local stores, dining at our wonderful restaurants, attending exciting events, utilizing our local services, and most importantly, spreading the word about Downtown Denville – one of New Jersey’s finest downtown shopping districts.

Thank you all for your support and participation in making Downtown Denville a remarkable place to visit and call home.
