Council amends ordinance to establish no‑parking zones near 600 South and 1100 West
Summary
Following discussion about traffic patterns, intersection sightlines and future road connections, Council approved an amendment to 35-10(B) to establish no-parking zones near 600 South and 1100 West by roll-call vote.
Cedar City Council debated an amendment to Section 35‑10(B) that would establish no‑parking zones in the vicinity of 600 South and 1100 West. Councilmembers questioned whether recent and near‑future traffic changes—related to roundabout construction, seminary scheduling and bypass work—warranted immediate striping and permanent restriction.
Councilmember Phil E. Schmidt argued for acting ahead of anticipated traffic growth; Councilmember R. Scott Phillips urged caution, noting traffic patterns may change when nearby facilities resume regular schedules. After debate, Schmidt moved to approve the ordinance amendment and the motion passed on roll-call, with Mayor Steve Nelson recorded in the minutes as voting aye.
Staff noted that future signal and striping adjustments could require additional expenditures to relocate mast arms or restripe lanes if traffic plans change; the council accepted that as part of the decision to move ahead with the no‑parking designations.
