MINUTES CITY COUNCIL APRIL 10, 2024 APPROVE NO PARKING ON WOODLYNN AVENUE The Public Works Director stated that Woodlynn Avenue was reconstructed in 2022 with ribbon curb and cars have been parking on the hill. He stated that creates difficulties with plowing in the winter. He noted that a business in that area has been utilizing the street for parking, often with car hauling vehicles and therefore it is creating a safety issue and the Council is asked to consider no parking along that roadway. Mayor Fischer commented that each of those businesses has adequate space for parking within their own site and therefore the parking along the street is unsafe and will cause undue wear on the road. The Public Works Director confirmed that residents and businesses were notified of this proposed action and no complaints were received about the potential no parking. He commented that he does often receive complaints about people parking on the street. T.
