Commission approves several sign and parking changes, including removal of late‑night no‑stopping zone

The commission approved multiple traffic‑control and parking changes after hearing staff recommendations and neighborhood input.

Removal of late‑night no‑stopping: A motion to remove the 'no stopping/standing 10 p.m.–3 a.m., Friday–Sunday' restriction on the 700 block of South Broadway passed after staff said police still find the restriction convenient but not absolutely necessary and property owners provided a supporting letter; one commissioner recorded an abstention during the voice vote.

West Mason/Packerland sign removal: Staff recommended eliminating a daytime 'no right on red' control at West Mason and Packerland because county-installed concrete islands on frontage roads have removed the conflict points that originally justified the restriction; the commission approved removal.

West Mason at Hinkle restriction: Staff requested restricting right turns on red eastbound on West Mason at Hinkle to reduce conflicts while frontage-road geometry and islands are installed; commissioners approved the restriction and discussed that temporary barrels are expected to be removed when islands and signals are completed (projected in June).

Emily / 900‑block parking change: At Alder Galvin’s request, the commission changed the 900 block of Emily from residential‑permit‑only parking to a 4‑hour parking zone to reduce all‑day parking from hospital employees and open short‑term parking for residents and visitors; the motion carried.

All motions were approved by voice vote; specific roll-call tallies were not recorded in the transcript for every item.
