Public Safety Commission recommends no parking on Brookside Drive
Summary
The Fulton City Public Safety Commission voted April 24 to recommend that the City Council prohibit parking on both sides of Brookside Drive from the low-water crossing to 13th Street, citing increased traffic and difficulty maneuvering on the narrow roadway.
The Fulton City Public Safety Commission voted April 24 to recommend that the City Council ban parking on both sides of Brookside Drive from the low-water crossing to 13th Street. Dall Hedges, a commission member, moved the recommendation; Bill Nigus, Assistant Fire Chief, seconded the motion. The minutes record that the motion carried with all members voting in favor and Commissioners Valerie Sebacher and Jay Hickman absent.
The commission’s action followed a presentation that Brookside Drive, described during the meeting as very narrow, has experienced increased traffic and has become harder to navigate. The recommendation asks the City Council to adopt a no-parking rule along the stretch leading to the brick plant at 13th Street to improve vehicle movement and emergency access.
The motion was recorded in the meeting minutes; the minutes do not report a roll-call of every vote by name beyond the mover and seconder, but state that "all in favor" and that two members were absent. The commission did not set an effective date for the proposed restriction; implementation would require Council consideration and any subsequent signage or pavement markings to be done by the street department.
The commission is scheduled to meet next on May 22, 2025, at 5:30 p.m. for any follow-up items. The recommendation will be transmitted to the City Council for its consideration.
