Council removes two‑hour limits from seven center‑island downtown spaces and directs staff to monitor results
Summary
Council voted to remove two‑hour parking restrictions on seven center‑island spaces on Main Street (23rd–26th) and directed staff to implement the change, monitor effectiveness, and report back; staff cautioned the physical rollout will require time for signage and painting.
Council approved an amendment to prior staff direction to remove two‑hour parking limits on seven center‑island spaces along Main Street between 23rd and 26th streets and asked staff to monitor impacts on access and bring a report back if problems emerge.
Staff noted the action is immediate in intent but that implementation (paint, signage, citations) requires logistical time. The council emphasized a desire to support downtown retail activation by increasing parking availability in the center islands while acknowledging follow‑up monitoring was necessary.
Next steps: staff will implement signage and striping as scheduling allows, monitor parking availability and customer access, and report results to council for any needed adjustments.
