Council confirms Daniel Ruppe to Urban Forestry Committee; resident urges resident‑only parking on Roosevelt Avenue
Summary
The council confirmed an appointment to the Urban Forestry Committee and heard a public comment from a Roosevelt Avenue resident seeking reactivation of a resident parking pilot to address spillover from I‑90 exits and protect neighborhood safety.
The Coeur d'Alene City Council confirmed Daniel Ruppe to the Urban Forestry Committee on July 21 after a motion and second; the mayor announced the appointment during council announcements and the motion carried.
Earlier in public comment, resident Matt Makhniak said traffic funnels off the I‑90 exits onto Roosevelt Avenue and that removal of resident parking signs has created safety and access problems. He asked the council to consider a permanent resident parking solution similar to the city's existing code (chapter 10.22) and offered to work with staff and council on a constructive approach.
The mayor thanked Makhniak for bringing the issue forward and said reactivating the pilot program will require council consideration and discussions on whether similar restrictions would be requested elsewhere in the city.
