Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Orange public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Residential permit parking eligibility in Old Towne
Since paid meters went in downtown, residents on Olive, Lemon and Almond streets can't park near their homes. The commission approved permit parking for Olive Street, but neighbors on surrounding blocks fear the problem will simply move to them.
Permit parking on Fairmont Way
Residents won permit parking on Fairmont Way to fight apartment spillover, trash, and speeders — but neighbors on Delia Lane, Lowry, and Breezy Way fear the problem just moves to their streets. A spillover program lets them apply within a year without a fee.
Maple Avenue speeding and traffic calming
Cut-through drivers treat Maple like a racetrack — one resident's husband was knocked off his mobility scooter. Speed cushions get a six-month trial with data collected before and after.
