Parking on Main Street in Sag Harbor Village this weekend will be limited to 45 minutes, according to an executive order issued by Mayor Kathleen Mulcahy on Friday. 

Prior to Memorial Day Weekend, Ms. Mulcahy issued a similar order that limited parking to 30 minutes in an effort to prevent overcrowding in the commercial district, which has been overrun in recent weeks with visitors who have not been complying with the mandate to wear masks, she said. The parking restrictions had the desired effect, she reported on Tuesday. "I was very proud of Sag Harbor, and relieved that the visitors who came out respected our community enough to wear masks and not stay around any longer than they needed to." 

Ms. Mulcahy noted the success in this week's order, and said the additional 15 minutes of parking is being permitted at the request of residents and business owners "to allow individuals sufficient time to complete more than one errand downtown." 

The restriction applies to both sides of Main Street from the north side of Union Street to the south side of Bay Street between 6 a.m. and 11 p.m.
