Summary

The Ordinance Committee approved adding a no-parking zone on William Street measuring 55 feet from Broadway to improve traffic flow; the committee voted 5-0 and forwarded the order to the full council.

The Ordinance Committee on June 30 approved an amendment to the city's parking schedule that prohibits parking on the south side of William Street for 55 feet from its intersection with Broadway, responding to complaints that parked vehicles were obstructing traffic.

The order was filed by Councilor Kramfitz and described as intended to ease turning and movement on William Street near Broadway. The filer and committee members referenced local observations that vehicles park too close to the intersection and make it difficult for other drivers to pass. The committee closed public input, called the roll and approved the order by a 5-0 vote; the item will be placed on the full City Council agenda for its next meeting.

Committee discussion included a brief clarification on the street name: the committee confirmed the official sign reads "Broadway Street," though colloquially it is commonly called Broadway. No additional analysis, cost estimate or traffic study was requested in committee.
