MOTION BY ALDERMAN CLEMONS TO AMEND O-17-034 IN ITS ENTIRETY BY REPLACING IT WITH
THE GOLDEN ROD COPY PROVIDED WITH THE AGENDA
ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Clemons
The original intent of the ordinance was to add Badger Street as a street where residents could overnight park.
After review from the fire department, they said they would have a difficult time getting their trucks down the
street if there was overnight parking. What this amendment does is instead of allowing the on-street parking on
Badger Street, it allows the residents of Badger Street to purchase the on-street parking permits. Then they can
park somewhere else in the neighborhood, similar to what we have done up in French Hill. | want to thank
Alderman Schoneman for suggesting this amendment.
Alderman Lopez
Part of the reason the fire department didn’t endorse putting it on Badger Street is because the road is only 18
feet wide. They also pointed out that it is the same condition one street over on Pierce Street. | started talking
to the residents about overnight parking spaces there. So far, nobody really uses it but overnight parking
program, in general, is something we should be looking carefully at each step of the way that we add to it. A lot
of the reasoning behind adding Badger Street was every street except for that one was added. It turns out there
was a reason why that was not added and maybe one street to many was added.
Alderman Moriarty
If the fire department says it is too narrow then | will take their word for it.
