In a 6-1 vote Thursday, with Councilman Raymond Moran, D- ist Ward, voting no, the city council imposed the restrictions on sections of Dutchess Avenue and Albany Street.

Teachers at Our Lady of Mount Carmel School also will be affected.

The Rev. Richard LaMette, pastor, has said he will meet with Mount Carmel teachers to discuss available parking options, including opening a church lot to them. Parking is scarce in Mount Carmel. Commuters avoiding parking fees, college students and others use much of the parking.
