Council bans parking on one side of Dobbs Glen to address safety near new trail

The council approved a change to the parking schedule Sept. 4 that establishes a no-parking zone on the west side of Dobbs Glen Street from Poplar Street to 660 feet south of Poplar.
City staff and Councilperson Amanda Thompson said the street is under 30 feet wide and the HOA had added a walking trail and soccer field that raised safety concerns if vehicles parked on both sides. Marcus Mower, city engineer, explained the city can use standard processes to limit parking where roads are narrow and said parking on one side is typical when a roadway is less than 30 feet wide.
Council members moved to take action and then voted to approve General Ordinance 7-20-25 by voice vote. The ordinance creates the listed no-parking zone and will be enforced under the city's traffic and parking regulations.
