Council adopts alleyway traffic and parking ordinance to improve safety
Summary
The council adopted Ordinance 20 26-1 to establish traffic control devices and parking rules in certain alleyways, citing Indiana Code authority; the public hearing closed with a unanimous voice vote recorded as three 'Aye' responses.
The Town of Monroe approved Ordinance 20 26-1 after a public hearing to allow the town to place stop and yield signs and regulate parking at alley intersections identified as safety hazards. Council (S3) opened the public hearing; the ordinance text cites Indiana Code 9-21-1-3 as the enabling authority to regulate traffic and parking, consistent with the Indiana Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices.
S1 moved to approve Ordinance 20 26-1 and a second was recorded; the council chair called for the vote and members responded "Aye" in favor. The ordinance specifically targets alley intersections for marked stops and is intended to address blind spots and vehicle conflicts; staff said the measure allows enforcement when proper signage is in place.
