2981-26 LEGISLATIVE HISTORY This Ordinance amends and supplements Chapter 7 Traffic, Subsection 13 Parking Prohibited at All Times on Certain Streets of the Revised General Ordinances. Standish Avenue was designated as a One-Way Street by Ordinance #2930-25, to create more parking opportunities for both local residences and local businesses. As part of this change, it has been determined that allowing parking on the east side of the roadway will create additional needed parking. It is necessary to continue to prohibit parking within 100’ feet of the northerly end of the street to allow school buses, delivery vehicles, and fire apparatus to turn safely into the street.
