Committee backs ordinances to restrict parking at a Bridge Road corner and on narrow streets during Friday trash pickup

The Public Works Committee recommended that City Council adopt two localized parking restrictions after staff presented maps and safety rationales.

First, committee members endorsed a sign‑only no‑parking restriction of roughly 30 feet at a corner near 6300 Bridge Road after staff and police described sight‑line problems where parked vehicles and an established street tree restrict visibility. The city will post the sign and notified neighbors had asked for relief; the committee voted to forward the ordinance to council.

Second, the committee recommended ordinance language restricting parking on several narrow roads on Fridays between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. to accommodate the city’s trash hauler. Staff explained the listed streets have narrow travelways and limited or no turnaround space for large collection trucks; moving parked cars or placing carts on one side of the street will enable crews to collect trash safely and efficiently. Staff and the hauler will notify affected residents about the change and perform outreach ahead of implementation.

Both recommendations will be forwarded to City Council for formal ordinance adoption. The committee emphasized that staff and the contractor will lead resident notification and that signage will be used to communicate the new rules once the Council acts.
