Council creates accessible parking on East Main Street near museums
Summary
Council adopted an ordinance amending the official traffic map to add an accessible parking space on East Main Street in front of museum entrances; ordinance passed unanimously.
The Common Council approved an ordinance creating an accessible parking space on East Main Street near the city’s museums, moving passenger access closer to public entrances.
City staff described the current accessible stall behind the Rock School (old mining museum) as poorly located for public visitation and said the Hanmer Robbins building is the museum entrance most frequently used by visitors; the ordinance places a designated accessible parking spot on East Main Street near those doors. Howard and museum staff presented the need to the council.
Council member Bob Gates moved to approve Ordinance 24‑11, amending the official traffic map to create accessible parking in front of the museums; Lynn Barrett seconded. The roll call recorded yes votes from Doss, Gates, Killian, Nall, Parrot and Copp; motion carried.
Council minutes show the action was procedural and intended to improve visitor access to museum facilities.
