Council adopts no-parking ordinance for Nineteenth Street near hospital
Summary
The council passed Ordinance 18-78-25 to add no-parking zones on Nineteenth Street between North Dewey Avenue and North Viking Drive following a public hearing and council discussion about neighborhood parking impacts.
The Reedsburg Common Council adopted Ordinance 18-78-25 on April 20, 2025, establishing new no-parking zones on Nineteenth Street between North Dewey Avenue and North Viking Drive.
The measure addresses reported parking congestion near the hospital and adjacent apartment buildings; council discussion focused on whether the hospital supported the restriction and how alternate-side winter parking rules would be affected for nearby residents.
Public works staff provided background that parking complaints had been reported for the area and that earlier informal measures had reduced issues. Councilmember Phil Peterson moved to approve the ordinance and Councilmember Sean Dietrich seconded; the council held a public hearing with no members of the public speaking for or against the change and then voted to approve the ordinance.
Council discussion included a question about whether the hospital had been consulted; public works staff said the city had been proactive in addressing parking concerns. Another council member asked how alternate-side winter parking would be affected near the apartment buildings; staff did not provide specific timing changes at the meeting and said the city would manage winter operations under the existing alternate-side rules.
The ordinance adds the specified no-parking segments to Reedsburg Municipal Code (title and section listed in the ordinance) and the council did not attach additional amendments or implementation instructions during the meeting. Public works staff will handle signage installation and enforcement scheduling.
