Commission recommends lifting time limit for parking on South Street
Summary
The Transportation and Parking Commission voted unanimously to recommend an ordinance change removing a two-hour time limit for spaces on South Street after residents told commissioners the limit made parking difficult for nearby households.
The Transportation and Parking Commission voted unanimously to recommend removing a posted time limit for parking spaces on South Street after commissioners and a councilor described constituent complaints about short-term restrictions.
During the meeting, staff read an ordinance amendment that would strike language imposing limited-hour parking in the affected block and showed a revised map of the curb spaces. Councilor Dobbs spoke in support after meeting with a Ward 4 constituent who said two‑hour limits made it difficult for nearby residents and visitors to find parking.
A motion for a positive recommendation was moved and seconded; Beth called the roll and commissioners recorded seven yes votes. Staff will forward the commission's recommendation to the City Council for final ordinance action.
Commissioners asked staff to confirm the revised curb map and noted the recommendation reflects the commission’s prior discussion at its previous meeting.
