Nesquehoning officials have approved an amendment to its parking ordinance that names streets that have prohibited parking.

Borough council took the action during its meeting on Wednesday.

The streets include the east side of Allen Street between High and Railroad and both sides between Railroad and Willow Lane; both sides of DaVinci Alley from Milan to Padua; the south side of Garibaldi, from Messina to Padua; both sides of Marconi Avenue from Messina to Padua and Angelina to Pastore; the east side of Market Street, from Catawissa to Allen; the south side of Mill Street, from School to Mermon; the south side of Orchard Lane from Spruce Street east to Walnut; the west side of Ratcliff Street from Catawissa to Mill and both sides from Catawissa to Railroad; the west side of School Street from High to Railroad (center streets) and from Catawissa to Mill, and the east side of School from Railroad/Center Street to Catawissa; both sides of Tippetts Road from the Stock Street/Tippetts Road intersection to the entrance of Lake Hauto; the north side of East Catawissa Street from the Route 93 to 300 feet west of the intersection; the west side of Hunter Street, from East Catawissa to 250 north of the intersection; the south side of High Street from Allen to Mermon; the south side of Mill Street from Mermon to Hazard; both sides of Industrial Road from Park Avenue to Dennison Road; the south side of East Railroad Street from Spruce to the cul-de-sac turnaround; and both sides of Little Flower Avenue from Pastori to the cul-de-sac turnaround.

Some of the parking changes, including Industrial Road and Little Flower, are in response to recent complaints from residents about the influx of people coming with trailers for off-roading vehicles and gathering in the areas, causing disturbances.

In April, council approved an emergency prohibited parking action along these areas in town.

Since then, barriers have been put up, council said Wednesday, with an increased police presence at those locations.

However, prior to the vote, Little Flower Avenue resident Lucinda Macalush again complained of people coming with trailers. She said that her property has been damaged three times as a result and that police were not responding when she called.

Councilman Louis Paul said that they are trying their best and that the problem has been mostly resolved.

He urged Macalush to call the police if there is a problem.

Councilwoman Rosemary Porembo said she would speak with the police chief about Macalush’s concern.
