🌿 A Little Change at Point Breeze!
If you’ve noticed the little white flags popping up around Point Breeze (City Hall), 101 E. Park Street, there’s a reason!
These flags are marking the areas that will become no-mow zones, allowing native plants and wildflowers to grow naturally and provide food and habitat for our local pollinators—including bees, butterflies, and other important wildlife.
But that’s not all! The City team is also teaming up with the Bordentown City Trails Committee to create walking paths throughout the property for residents and visitors to enjoy. 🚶♀️🌳
We’re excited to create a space that is not only beautiful and beneficial to our environment but also provides another place for our community to get outside, explore, and enjoy nature right here in Bordentown City.
So, the next time you see those little white flags, you’ll know—something good is growing! 🌱💚

🚨 IMPORTANT: PARKING ENFORCEMENT BEGINS AUGUST 1 ST🚨
Beginning August 1st, the Bordentown City Police Department will begin enforcing the 3-hour parking limit in the municipal parking lot on Farnsworth Avenue (Old Town Pub Lot) between the hours of 11:00 AM and 9:00 PM.
At this time, officers are issuing warning notices to help inform motorists of the upcoming enforcement.
This change follows an ordinance adopted by the Board of Commissioners last year, which adjusted the enforcement hours for the 3-hour parking limit along Farnsworth Avenue and extended the same limit to the municipal lot. The goal is to increase parking turnover and improve parking availability for residents, visitors, and local businesses.
Please help us spread the word by sharing this post with your friends, neighbors, and anyone who regularly parks in the area. Thank you for your cooperation!
