Residents discuss using loading zones for short pickups
Two residents exchanged views about using curbside loading zones for short errands, with one saying loading zones can be used for trips under 20 minutes if hazard lights are turned on.

The discussion focused on practical use rather than an official policy. Resident (Speaker 2) said, "Oh, it's no worries. For trips under 20 minutes, you can park in loading zones. Loading zones make great spots for quick food pickups or coffee runs. Just put on your hazards and you're all set." Resident (Speaker 1) replied, "Oh really? So every time I forgot my my phone we could have just parked in a loading zone?"

The speakers repeatedly emphasized using hazard lights while briefly stopping in a loading zone; Speaker 1 later reiterated the single word "hazards." The transcript does not include any citation to a city ordinance, parking code, or enforcement guidance, and no official representative confirmed the statement during the exchange.

There was no formal action, decision, or verification included in the transcript. The exchange appears to be two individuals sharing practical advice about short-term curbside pickups rather than a statement of law or municipal policy.
