UPPER WEST SIDE, NY — The Upper West Side's community board will continue its debate on curbside parking reform Tuesday night during its full board meeting, according to the board's meeting agenda.

Community Board 7's transportation committee caused quite a stir earlier this year when its members passed a resolution urging the city to abandon the practice of free curbside parking for private vehicles. After debate, that resolution has been watered down to a more moderate approach of asking the city to conduct a study on free parking. The resolution will be up for a vote in front of the full board on Tuesday night.

Tuesday night's Community Board 7 meeting will be held at Fordham University's Upper West Side Campus. The meeting will begin at 6:30 in 113 W. 60th St., according to the meeting agenda.
