At or about 226 Abbe Lane, there are commercial vehicles parked on the street, quite close to the corner. They are labelled "Kitchen Vision" and add to making travel difficult at the and and only entrance/ exit to Abbe Lane. The residents do not have enough room to navigate at the entrance/ exit to the street and something needs to be done - too many cars at all hours of the day. I've already had an accident at that intersection because drivers can't get their car in/ out of the street safely. We need "No Parking Here to Corner" signs for at least the first 150ft of road on at least one side of the street - it's not safe to drive.
It also does not help that the resident across the street at 219 Abbe Lane has a van parked on the street that does not move - I've driven past it and have noticed that it appears to be used by its owner as a shed/ storage container. Is that even allowed?? Since when are residents allowed to store their belongings on a public street?
Please help make our neighborhood easier & safer to navigate. Thank you.

This "parking" situation has not been resolved. Nevermind the commercial vehicles parked on the street... there are always cars parked so close to the corner that every time I enter/ exit the street, my neighbors and I take a serious gamble on getting into an accident. It's just not safe.
If the police have checked this intersection, why does this situation still exist day after day?? There is a police officer who lives on this street, yet absolutely, nothing has been done to rectify the problem. (But if the City must send police to check again, suggest going around 6pm/ rush hour).
However, I do not think that this is a Police related issue. The curbs need to be painted or signs need to be posted on both sides of the street at this location ("No Parking From Here to Corner" signs would work just fine) 50-75ft from the corner? A few hours to send two men out to install the signs... this is not difficult, Mayor Jim... but it must be since NOTHING has been done to fix this unsafe situation. This is pathetic.
We pay enough taxes in this city... why can't the people that run it do something for it's residents?

I'm so glad that this issue still exists. (sarcasm) I'm so glad to see that Mr. Greco completely misread what I had suggested as a resolution to the problem. I now understand that commercial vehicles have "no bearing" on the subject as far as Clifton's ordinance is concerned - thank you for clarifying that.
However, I did NOT say that the state statute prohibits parking within 150' of a stop sign - I was SUGGESTING that in this situation that there should be "No Parking" signs installed for a distance of 150' of the existing stop sign as it is extremely dangerous entering & exiting this street. To add to this matter, random cars will park on the "northbound" side of the street within a few feet of its intersection with Van Houten. It is still, after more than a year of reporting this, an issue. I've already had an accident at this intersection because of the inability to maneuver in and out of the street.... do I need to have another in order to get some legitimate attention & reaction to an unsafe issue? I'm beginning to think that the elected officials do not care about the safety of the residents of this city..... it's pretty sad.
