Council adopts ordinance barring parking on east side of Willard Street during school hours
Summary
On final reading the council approved ordinance 26‑1001 to prohibit parking on the east side of Willard Street between Pfeiffer and Yates during school hours (8:00–16:30 school days) to reduce congestion and improve student safety; staff said funding for signage is available in the gas tax fund.
Council considered ordinance 26‑1001 on final reading to prohibit parking on the east side of Willard Street from Pfeiffer Street to Yates Street during school hours. City staff explained the street is only 27 feet wide and parking on both sides reduces traffic flow to one lane at peak times; a resident parking survey reportedly showed majority support for the restriction.
Staff recommended approval and said funds for no‑parking signage are available in the gas tax fund. The council voted on final reading and adopted the ordinance by roll call (six yes votes).
