Murphy — The mayor asked the City Manager on Oct. 21 to report back on overnight parking at the Maxwell Creek subdivision. City staff described a stepwise approach the city will test to address nonresident vehicles parked at the subdivision entrance, which staff said are associated with parking restrictions in the adjacent City of Wylie.

Staff said the immediate remedy is to install no‑parking signs, with attachments stating 'no overnight parking' and an indicated time window; staff plan to begin by installing the signs on the coming Friday and dispatch police to strongly enforce the restriction in the first weeks. The goal is to avoid unintended consequences for residents while working toward a permanent solution with the HOA and neighbors.

The City Manager told council the HOA is in favor of the proposed signs and that the HOA president had been notified through social media posts; staff said they had not yet received direct resident feedback. Council members asked staff to monitor nearby side streets for displacement of parked vehicles and to pursue more aggressive measures if the initial approach does not work.

Staff and the mayor said the adjacent development in Wylie implemented parking regulations that have led some residents to park across the street in Murphy. Council directed staff to monitor enforcement outcomes and to return with options if the signs and early enforcement do not resolve the problem.
