Brown Deer bans overnight semi-truck parking on North Park Plaza Court
Summary
The board adopted an ordinance prohibiting semi-truck parking from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. on North Park Plaza Court, citing an uptick in overnight truck parking facilitated by a smartphone app; signage costs estimated at about $2,500.
The Village Board approved an ordinance to prohibit parking of semi trucks from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. on North Park Plaza Court and to remove a remaining parking restriction at the former library. Staff said the village has experienced increasing overnight semi parking in both the Park Plaza Court right-of-way and an adjacent shopping-center lot, in part because an app used by truck drivers routed them to available parking.
Staff told trustees the village contacted the owner of the strip mall and received permission to install signage; the village estimated the cost for signage at about $2,500. The ordinance would be enforced through posted signs, with possible limited overnight permits for legitimate visitors to the park. Trustees asked whether the restriction covers tractors with or without trailers; staff said the intent is to include tractor-trailers.
Trustee Woods moved the ordinance and Trustee Thompson seconded; the board adopted the ordinance by roll-call vote.
