Parking Restrictions In Residential Areas Enforced
City council moves to restrict parking on narrow residential streets to keep access clear for fire and snowplows. Westwood Drive on the North side from West Neville to Locust Street is restricted, with patrols planned in other areas. Fire Chief Connor and Street Commissioner Warden back the measure, citing winter access issues and blocked fire trucks. Additional items include building code amendments, traffic light status at South Fayette and F Street, and a new bus stop ordinance on Valley Drive South.
