TEMPLE EMANUEL GOOD NEIGHBOR POLICY

 

Temple Emanuel shares the streets of Newton with its neighbors, and wishes to remind those using the services and facilities of the synagogue to obey all Newton traffic and parking regulations when attending services and events.

It is most unfortunate that members and others attending events have created ill will and dangerous circumstances by blocking driveways making it impossible for the neighbor to get their car out. There have been reported instances of our attendees actually parking in driveways not their own.

We request that all those booking events at the Temple remind their guests of Newton ’s traffic and parking regulations, particularly the following:

  • no parking within five feet of a driveway
  • no parking within twenty feet of a corner
  • no parking where prohibited by a posted sign

In addition, we ask that you, your guests and service people take care to leave an evening event as quietly as possible being mindful of the hour.

Our neighbors have the right to call the Newton police to enforce the traffic and parking regulations. The result could be ticketing or towing of cars.
