  There are not currently any parking restrictions on Aborn Street. In the near term, we will ask the Traffic Unit Commander in the Police Department to make sure that the current parking is not double parking or blocking driveways or other items that are not allowed on any street. In the longer term, we would request that you contact your Ward Councillor to submit a request to the Traffic and Parking Commisison to consider some types of parking restrictions that could address this issue. Your Ward Councillor is Tim Flynn and his contact information can be found here: https://www.salem.com/city-council

  There is no parking on both sides of that part of Aborn street. They are constantly parked there blocking traffic.

  As I mentioned in my previous comment, there are currently no ordinances on the books that limit parking on Aborn Street. We can't direct City staff to install signs if there is not an underlying ordinance to back them up. The best way to rectify this situation is to contact your Ward Councillor so he can submit a request that the Traffic and Parking Commission can make a recommendation on to be passed by the full Council.

  As you can see there are no parking signs on both sides of Aborn street near Boston Street.

  We are aware of the signage on the street. However, as there is not an ordinance backing up those signs, they cannot be enforced. Certain parking issues, such as parking too close to a driveway or double parking, can be enforced without signage. But the types of restriction these signs relate to are unenforceable without a city ordinance backing them up.

  So why are there signs if they can’t be enforced. This has been an issue in that area for awhile. The repair shop parks their cars they are working on up and down Aborn st and across on ord street in the resident only area.

  The signs predate our Department's existence, so beyond that I can't speak to who authorized the installation. We do have this planned as a discussion at the next Traffic and Parking Commission meeting, currently scheduled for April 16. From the Commission, a recommendation would then be sent to the Council for approval.
