Council adopts ordinance banning parking on east side of South Old Orchard
Summary
On July 1 the Webster Groves City Council adopted Bill 9283 to prohibit parking at all times on the east side of South Old Orchard between Big Bend South and East Lockwood Avenue; the ordinance passed unanimously.
At its July 1 meeting the Webster Groves City Council adopted Bill 9283, an ordinance amending the city traffic code to prohibit parking at all times on the east side of South Old Orchard between the intersections of Big Bend South and East Lockwood Avenue.
Council member Hixson Shepherd called for the third reading of Bill 9283. The ordinance was read aloud during the meeting as an amendment to Chapter 60, Article 16, Section 60.975, Schedule H of the city traffic code.
There was no discussion before the vote. The roll call returned unanimous support: Council member Bliss, Council member Franklin, Council member Smith, Council member Alexander, Council member Hixson Shepherd, Council member Hasselmeyer and Mayor Arnold all voted yes. The mayor closed the public portion of the meeting following the vote and noted the council would meet in closed session later in the agenda for attorney‑client and contract negotiations.
Why it matters: the adopted change alters street‑level parking regulation on South Old Orchard and will affect residents and visitors who previously parked on that block. The ordinance text specifies the location and the all‑times prohibition and becomes part of the city's traffic code enforcement schedule.
Next steps: the traffic code amendment will be reflected in the city's enforcement schedules and maps; staff handled routine administrative questions about the consent agenda after the ordinance adoption.
