Ban on heavy truck parking passed by council

Without a hint of dissent, city councilors Tuesday unanimously approved a new law that will bar heavy trucks, buses and other large vehicles from parking regularly on residential streets.

The move drew praise from the resident who proposed it last spring.

Rick Kriscenski, who pleaded with councilors to take action on the issue, said Tuesday he’s glad the statute passed unanimously..

Kriscenski called it “a significant ordinance that will greatly improve our city in terms of safety and keeping our neighborhoods nice.”

The new law, which will take effect about October 1, bans heavy commercial trucks, buses and recreational vehicles from parking on most city streets except for loading and unloading.
