Panel approves commercial loading zone and two-hour meters for a section of Main Street
Summary
The committee approved a proposal to designate a curb lane on Main Street as a commercial loading zone from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m., switching to two-hour metered parking from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., creating 4–5 customer spaces for downtown businesses.
The Traffic & Parking Committee approved an administration proposal to use an existing curb lane on Main Street as a commercial loading zone during morning hours and convert it to two-hour metered parking during the day.
Staff told the committee the curb lane currently exists but is posted as all-day no-parking; stakeholders and downtown businesses asked for more short-term customer parking. The adopted plan sets a commercial loading zone from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. and converts to two-hour metered parking from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., which staff said would provide an additional "4 to 5 spaces" for customers in that stretch of downtown.
The committee approved the ordinance recommendation by roll call. Transportation staff said the change uses existing curb space and aligns daytime meter hours with the rest of downtown.
