(McKees Rocks, PA) New parking restrictions along Mary Street in McKees Rocks are drawing frustration from neighbors. Neighbors received letters notifying them of new parking rules, along with multiple “no parking” signs posted along one side of the street. The change limits parking to one side, which is a move some say will create challenges in an area where space is already tight. Other residents echoed concerns about a lack of available parking. Borough officials say the restrictions are allowed under an existing ordinance and are intended to improve access for emergency vehicles. McKees Rocks Council President Archie Brinza expressed that the changes are ultimately about safety, ensuring that fire trucks and ambulances can pass through the narrow street. According to the letter sent to residents, enforcement of the new parking rules is set to begin next week.
