City Council tackles parking restrictions amid heatwave

During a recent government meeting, the Quincy City Council presented two significant ordinances aimed at modifying parking regulations within the city. The first ordinance proposes the establishment of no parking zones on both the west and east sides of North 30th Street, specifically between Broadway and Chestnut Streets. This measure seeks to enhance traffic flow and safety in the area by removing prior parking restrictions.

The second ordinance focuses on amending the parking regulations on North Second Street. It aims to allow parking in the parkway on the east side of North Second Street from Locust Street North to the alley, providing more parking options for residents and visitors.

Additionally, the Finance Committee reported expenditures totaling $842,075.41, which were approved unanimously by the council members present. The meeting concluded with a reminder of the extreme heat expected in the coming days, emphasizing the need for community awareness and preparedness.
