In a joint effort between Mayor Nick Sacco and the board of commissioners, the board of education, and the parking authority, resident will be able to utilize have eight different parking lots during the coronavirus pandemic – a time when parking tickets will not be issued, the township announced on their website.

Kennedy Blvd.) and the Robert Fulton Annex School (7111 Polk St.).
These spaces will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Jersey City and Union City have also recently announced that their parking regulations are suspended.
Additionally, the board of education will continue their remote learning program through at least April 20th as orders throughout the state are doing their best to limit social gatherings.
“I wanted to give everyone an update on the situation regarding the school closures due to COVID-19 schools will remain closed until April, therefore students must complete the packets or remote learning assignments given to them prior to leaving the school by next Sunday, March 29th,” Superintendent of Schools Dr. George Solter said in a video posted on the district’s website.
Yesterday, the township provided an update on the coronavirus crisis, indicating that nine patients, ages ranging from 29 to 78, are being treated for the disease.
Not clear on parking regulations suspended. Does that mean
One does not have to move their car if the sign says no parking on a specific day?
Yes, but probably not going to be necessary to do that any way with all the extra parking being made available.
John, they waited too long for this announcement. This should’ve been done two weeks ago! It amazes me how inconsiderate North Bergen is with their parking enforcement. Making it a huge income for the town should not be an excuse in time of crisis. Plus where does that money go? The town looks like s***. The streets have craters the size of boulders. Smh…let me just stay quiet. Thanks for the news
