Bordentown City is seeking community input on parking plan proposals that will help address both residential and business concerns, according to Mayor Jennifer Sciortino.
The meeting will be held at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, June 17 at Carslake Community Center.
The city planner will provide a presentation on what officials have been discussing for the past three months
- Residential and visitor parking
- Grab and go parking
- Increased turnover, greater availability
- Streetscape integration and pedestrian safety
“We want to get everyone’s feedback … we want to meet with the community at large and get substantive feedback that everybody may have,” Sciortino said. “We want to try to balance needs of residents and businesses in order for them to operate successfully. It’s a delicate balancing act.
“We welcome everyone’s input to see what we would like to do to perfect this plan before we go any further.”

The City Board of Commissioners currently have a vacancy on the three-member board after Heather Cheesman resigned in March after being appointed by Gov. Phil Murphy to serve on the Burlington County Board of Elections as chairperson.
Cheesman had been appointed in March 2024 to fill a vacancy due to the resignation of former Commissioner James E. Lynch, Jr.
In November 2024, voters approved Cheesman to continue the term, which now will be up for election to a full four-year term in November.
Sciortino and Deputy Mayor Joe Myers had “30 days to reach a mutual agreement on appointing a successor to temporarily fill the position” until the next election.
The mayor and deputy mayor both provided recommendations; however, they could not come to an agreement before the 30 days.
