Council pauses on third reading of Bill 2171 to clarify Green Street parking language
Summary
Council paused third-reading action on Bill 2171 (Green Street parking) after members requested clarification about whether the prior motion removed a no-parking restriction; staff and council discussed the original 45-foot no-parking language and asked for confirmation rather than immediate approval.
Council members moved to take up the third reading of Bill 2171 concerning parking on Green Street but paused the vote to clarify whether earlier action removed an established no‑parking zone.
A council member queried whether the ordinance change would restore unrestricted parking on Green Street or instead modify the original code that prohibited parking on the west side of Green Street within a loading zone beginning 45 feet north of the northwest corner of the intersection. The council debated whether the prior April motion had rescinded that restriction; one member asked for a formal clarification so the item would not have to be revisited multiple times.
After discussion the council did not complete a final third‑reading vote; the Chair and staff agreed to clarify the intended language and return it to the agenda for a confirmed motion and vote.
The council also discussed related parking requests, including reconfiguring one parking space on Washington Street to be handicapped‑accessible near the post office; staff said sidewalk slope likely meets access requirements but will confirm measurements and compliance.
