The Infrastructure and Facilities Committee voted to amend city code to exclude portions of McClellan Street between North Fifth Street and North Sixth Street from downtown overnight parking restrictions, and approved a housekeeping action to repeal three 15-minute parking stalls on the south side of Washington Street between Second and Third streets.
Alan (staff member) explained the McClellan change came at residents’ request so those properties can use even‑numbered parking rules like much of the city and avoid the overnight parking prohibition that covers downtown (no parking between 2:30 a.m. and 6 a.m.).
Alder Neal raised a sight-line concern for cars parked near the corner of Sixth Street, asking whether the portion closest to the corner could be signed or marked no‑parking to avoid visibility problems. Alan said that people park there during the day without issues and that staff would monitor and consider markings if it becomes a problem.
The repeal of three 15-minute stalls on Washington Street was described as a bookkeeping item: the committee previously approved adding 15-minute stalls to the rebuilt Washington Street but had not formally removed the older south-side stalls. Both motions passed with no recorded opposition.
