Council to consider weekday no-parking restriction on North Twelfth Street to ease school and delivery congestion
Summary
Aldermen discussed a proposal to prohibit parking on parts of North Twelfth Street from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays to reduce congestion during school and working hours and agreed to circulate a draft resolution for public comment before returning to committee.
Committee members discussed a proposal to restrict parking on sections of North Twelfth Street to 7 a.m.–5 p.m. on weekdays, citing frequent congestion during school hours and heavy local delivery traffic.
The proposal, discussed on Jan. 7, would limit on-street parking during daytime work hours while preserving evenings, weekends and holidays for resident parking. Aldermen said some properties on the corridor do not have off-street parking, and members discussed limiting the restriction to portions of the street rather than the entire length to avoid unduly burdening residents.
Council members described prior attempts to control parking on the corridor that produced mixed results and noted that a time-limited restriction could reduce conflicts with school buses and delivery vehicles. The committee agreed to draft a resolution, publish it for public comment and return to the committee in a few weeks to review feedback before taking a formal vote.
No final action was taken at this meeting; members instructed staff to circulate a draft resolution and solicit public input before the council considers a vote.
