Peeved About Parking?<br />
haddonfield.today | 35<br />
There are 15-minute zones in other parts of town.<br />
Why not in front of the Post Office?<br />
n The 15-minute zone in front of the<br />
Mabel Kay Senior Center on Walnut<br />
Street makes it convenient for drivers<br />
to drop off or pick up folks who are<br />
visiting the center.<br />
However: Although there’s a sign that<br />
indicates where the 15-minute zone ends,<br />
there’s no sign that shows where it begins.<br />
n On Chestnut Street, opposite<br />
the Central/Middle School, the<br />
15-minute zone makes it convenient<br />
for parents to drop off lunches for<br />
kids who inadvertently left them at<br />
home (for example).<br />
However: Signs on poles (that<br />
used to have meters on them) tell<br />
drivers they can park for an hour<br />
in a 15-minute zone. Huh?<br />
n The 15-minute zone in front<br />
of the PATCO Station is for the<br />
convenience of drivers who drop<br />
off or pick up Speedline passengers.<br />
However: That zone is under<br />
the auspices of the Port Authority,<br />
not the Borough. PATCO gets it. Why<br />
don’t the commissioners?<br />
n In front of The Bread Board Plus<br />
(N. Haddon Ave at Wayne), there’s a<br />
15-minute zone apparently for the<br />
convenience of those picking up breakfast,<br />
lunch, or dinner, and of parents dropping<br />
off their little darlings at Tumbling on<br />
Haddon, next door.<br />
However: If you can’t stop or stand,<br />
how can you park?
