West New York, NJ Parking Rules: Loading Zones (2026)

Article VIII of Chapter 352 of the Town Code, adopted 7-20-1994 by Ord. No. 54/94 and extended on 4-18-2012 by Ord. No. 7/12, treats a loading zone in the Town of West New York as a revocable benefit that a business has to keep earning. The site is approved first by the Mayor and Commissioners, who make up the Board of Commissioners. After that, every individual, corporation, partnership or entity holding a zone must renew in writing on or before July 1 of each year. The form comes from the West New York Police Department Traffic Division, which is the office that receives the filing.

The renewal package has three parts under § 352-36. The first is the written application. The second is a letter of intent addressed to the Director of Public Safety of the Town requesting a location for the loading zone. The third is invoices from the last 30 business days, which is how the Town tests whether the business still uses the space for deliveries. The $250 application and restriping fee is due when the completed application and supporting documentation reach the Traffic Division, not later.

Section 352-37 supplies the consequence. A loading zone application that is not renewed on an annual basis is forfeited. The Town then gives notice to the holder, removes the posted signs and striping, and permits the space to be restored to public parking. The article also records the policy behind the fees in its preamble: commercial establishments that benefit from approved loading zones bear the cost of striping and restriping them. Section 352-34 puts the Police Department in charge of striping, so the same agency that takes the renewal also marks the curb.

The article prints no loading-hour window and no per-vehicle time limit. What it controls is who holds the zone, for how long, and what it costs. Sections 352-38 and 352-39 repeal inconsistent ordinances and make the article effective on passage and publication.
