West Miami restricts swale parking to residents with permits on multiple streets
Summary
The commission approved an ordinance prohibiting vehicles from parking on swales on several specified streets unless the vehicle displays a resident parking permit. The change follows resident requests and passed 5-0 after public hearings closed with no speakers.
The City Commission of the City of West Miami on June 4 approved a second-reading ordinance that prohibits parking of vehicles on swales on a list of streets except for residents and their guests who display city-issued parking identification permits.
The ordinance, which amends previous parking rules, names multiple streets where swale parking will be restricted and provides for enforcement; commissioners said the measure responds to resident requests gathered at prior meetings. The public hearing on the item was opened and closed with no public speakers before the commission voted 5-0 to adopt the ordinance.
Commissioners noted the matter had been the subject of extensive prior deliberation and resident input. The vote was taken by roll call and recorded as unanimous.
The ordinance text in the agenda describes the amendment as altering ordinance 2025-01 to prohibit parking of vehicles on swales on Southwest Twentieth Street, Southwest Twentieth Terrace, 20 First Street, 20 Second Street, 20 Third Street between Southwest 60 Fourth Avenue and 60 Sixth Avenue, on 60 Fourth Court between Southwest Twentieth Street and Twentieth Terrace and on Southwest 60 Fifth Avenue between Twentieth Street and 20 Second Street (text as listed in the meeting agenda). Staff and commissioners said the change reflects resident preferences collected at earlier meetings and is intended to reduce curbside congestion and protect green-space swales.
