Parking management issues reported in Port-Jérôme-sur-Seine and Vernon

Local authorities and residents in the Eure department are addressing parking availability and regulations. In Port-Jérôme-sur-Seine, the city is extending the blue zone parking area near Rue Henri Messager to 61 spaces. This measure, which includes areas at the Champ de Foire and Le Colombier residence, aims to encourage vehicle rotation and ensure availability for local businesses and services following the arrival of new residents at the Milliat residence. Under the blue zone rules, parking is free for a limited duration of 1 hour and 30 minutes between 9:00 to 12:00 and 14:00 to 19:00, Monday through Friday, excluding public holidays. Drivers must use a parking disc to indicate their arrival time.

In Vernon, local merchants and workers have expressed concerns regarding a reduction in available parking spaces following recent construction work. Business owners report that some streets have seen a significant decrease in parking spots, leading to increased fines for sidewalk parking or minor timing infractions. Some residents have suggested implementing short-term parking options or adjusting the days on which parking is free to better support local commerce and reduce long-term vehicle occupancy.
