Glenarden council pauses enforcement of new truck-parking ordinance for three months
Summary
After extended public comment on a recently mailed flyer and the city’s new residential parking rule, Glenarden City Council voted to put enforcement of Ordinance 004-2025 on hold for three months to allow time for revisions and additional notice.
Glenarden City Council voted unanimously on Feb. 24 to pause enforcement of Ordinance 004-2025 — a recent rule restricting vans and pickup trucks from parking on public streets — for three months while the council reconsiders specific provisions and improves public notice.
The vote followed more than two hours of public comment during a public hearing that centered on a flyer mailed to residents stating that “all vans and pickup trucks, regardless of their use or purpose, including personal use, must be parked in the owner’s driveway and are not permitted to park on city streets.” Many residents said they received the flyer after the ordinance took effect, found the language vague, and said enforcement would create hardship for long-term residents, households with multiple drivers, and people with limited driveway space.
