November 14, 2022
DISCUSSION – Continued
On October 4, 2022, the City provided notice to area residents of this request and that this matter would be brought before the Public Safety Commission at its October 18, 2022, meeting. To date, the City has received no response to the notifications.
There is not sufficient roadway width to provide both a travel lane for vehicles and a parking lane. Hence to ensure a safe and standard travel lane width, the restriction of on-street parking is recommended.
