Council adopts ordinance limiting truck parking near Line Street market to preserve sight lines
Summary
On second and final reading the Common Council unanimously approved Ordinance 2025-9 to prohibit truck parking in angled spaces on Line Street just south of Market Street to address visibility and safety concerns
The Columbia City Common Council on Tuesday unanimously adopted Ordinance 2025‑9, restricting truck parking in the angled spaces on the east side of Line Street just south of Market Street, adjacent to the city parking lot. The ordinance was approved on second and final reading.
Council members said the change is intended to improve line of sight for drivers and emergency vehicles. The council discussed the precise location after some public confusion about the street named in a recent newspaper report; a council member clarified that the angled spaces in question are on Line Street next to the city lot.
The ordinance was read by title and approved on a motion; council members voted unanimously. No amendments or conditions were recorded during the meeting, and staff did not present a traffic study at the hearing.
Council members said the measure responds to local safety concerns stemming from trucks parked near the market. The ordinance modifies chapter 71, title 7 of the City of Columbia City municipal code as read aloud at the meeting.
