Council removes parking on portion of C Street to improve Republic Services turnaround
Summary
Resolution 2025-01 to eliminate a parking space on C Street passed on March 12; staff said the change will allow refuse trucks to safely turn around near newly added duplexes without reversing into Second Street.
The Lebanon City Council on March 12 approved Resolution 2025‑01 eliminating parking on a portion of C Street to provide a safer turnaround for Republic Services vehicles. Staff said the dead‑end street has seen new duplex construction and vehicles parked near the turnaround have forced refuse trucks to back into Second Street, creating a traffic hazard.
Staff notification and outreach: Public works staff told council they had notified the adjacent neighborhood and did not receive comments opposing the change. The measure affects a single parking spot; staff said the change is a minor operational adjustment to reduce safety risk and to avoid potential collision responses involving police and public works.
Council action: The council voted to approve Resolution 2025‑01 by voice vote; the resolution passed without amendment.
Next steps: Public works staff will place signage and update parking enforcement maps to reflect the eliminated space.
Ending: Councilors said the change was a targeted, low‑impact adjustment to improve safety for service vehicles and residents.
