Moraine City Council adopts emergency ban on parking along Fuyau Avenue

The Moraine City Council unanimously adopted an emergency ordinance on Jan. 8, 2026 that prohibits vehicle parking or standing at any time on both sides of Fuyau Avenue. The council suspended its usual rules to allow both first and second readings at the same meeting and then voted to adopt the ordinance.

Kent DePorter, filling in for Law Director Martina Dillon, presented the ordinance and explained the city would amend the traffic code to declare the restriction an emergency measure. During discussion a council member said, “Parking by employees on Fuyau Avenue has become a safety hazard.” The council voted unanimously to suspend the rules and to adopt Ordinance 2218-26.

The ordinance was presented as an emergency measure, allowing immediate enforcement once the ordinance is codified and posted as required by city procedures. The council did not record any abstentions or no votes on the motion to suspend rules or on final adoption.

Next steps: the ordinance will be enforced per the city’s traffic code and any required signage and administrative steps will follow. The meeting record does not include specifics about enforcement timelines or citations, which would be set by city staff after codification.
