Council adopts ordinance banning parking in bicycle lanes
Summary
Ordinance 26-18 was adopted on final reading to prohibit parking in buffered, green and other designated bicycle lanes; council described the change as a one-line amendment clarifying where parking is prohibited and approved it 9–0.
On third reading the council adopted Ordinance 26‑18, which amends the Hammond Municipal Code to prohibit parking in specified bicycle lanes, including buffered and green bike lanes and other areas intended primarily for bicycles.
A council member described the change as a "one line amendment" that inserts bicycle lanes—including buffered bicycle lanes, green bicycle lanes and areas where bicycles are intended as the primary roadway users—into the list of places where parking is prohibited. Clerk Golic conducted a roll call and the ordinance passed unanimously, 9–0.
The council did not amend the ordinance further at the meeting; the change clarifies enforcement in areas used by cyclists.
