Can parking be restricted on one or both sides of a street?
For newer subdivisions, City Standards include the following parking restrictions:
- 24 foot wide street- no parking
- 28 foot wide street- no parking on one side
- 32 foot wide street- parking allowed on both sides
For some individuals, A 32 foot wide street with parking on both sides can still seem narrow. The City adopted this standard as a balance between mobility and speed as on-street parking and narrow streets encourage slower speeds.
Older areas of town may be one or two sided parking with narrower streets than the current standards. Many of these streets are considered "yield" streets as vehicles need to yield to pass each other.
Will the City Install a "No Parking" sign near my driveway, in front of mailboxes, or at an intersection?
Mailboxes and Driveways - No. Parking in front of a mailbox or driveway approach is not in violation of State Statues or City Codes.
Street Intersections- Parking may be restricted via a sign or curb painting at intersections where sight distance is blocked by repeated illegal parking.
What are the parking restrictions?
Park Smart. Avoid a ticket or creating a hazard. Please park your vehicle at least:
- 10 feet either side of a fire hydrant
- 20 feet from a crosswalk
- Do not block a driveway or alley
- Where there is no yellow, red, or green curb paint
- Yellow - no parking anytime
- Red - no parking anytime, fire only
- Green - no parking, loading zone
- Outside of the bike lane (8 inch white lines mark bike lanes)
- Parking is not allowed in alleys except for less than 15 minutes for loading or unloading if flashers are on.
- Vehicles may not park in the right-of-way to display "for sale", park for more than five days, park with an expired registration (greater than 30 days), or for vehicle repair.
