Main Street Parking Restriction

At a glance

• What: Bill 8089 creates a NO PARKING ANYTIME zone on the north side of Main Street from 151 feet east of Florida Street to 315 feet east of Florida Street, amending the Traffic Control Map and File.
• Where it stands: Passed Council 25-0 on September 21, 2026.
• Why: Hoover said a business owner reported trucks parking overnight and blocking the building entrance. The committee record adds that the business across the street is doing well and trucks try to park in front of it.
• Wording change: As introduced September 8 the bill described "a portion of Florida Street"; it was reported out with the footage limits.
