HUDSON â Fourth Ward Alderman John Rosenthal proposed the city change its alternate-side parking rules, but Department of Public Works Superintendent Robert Perry believes the current rules are needed.
The city requires cars park on alternate sides every night for street cleaning, with some exceptions. From midnight to 8 a.m., cars should park on the odd side of the street for odd-numbered calendar dates and the even side for even-numbered days.
The Department of Public Works does street cleaning five days a week from April 1 to Nov. 1, and when possible, between Nov. 1 and April 1, depending on weather, Perry said. Weekend alternate-side parking is typically suspended over the summer.
HUDSON â Arterial Streets presented its ideas for the Downtown Revitalization Initiative street and sidewalk improvements at the Common Council meeting last Tuesday.
The Downtown Revitalization Initiative is a $10 million grant from the Capital Region Economic Development Council in 2017. It is dedicated to western downtown Hudson, which the initiative calls the BRIDGE District, standing for Build- Renew- Invest- Develop- Grow- Empower.
The district covers Second Street to the waterfront from east to west, and Dock Street to the South Bay wetlands from north to south. There are 1,272 people representing 19% of Hudsonâs population and âall socioeconomic categories, and a multitude of ethnicities,â in the district, according to the state Downtown Revitalization Initiative plan.
