ON THE EAST SIDE OF
I
�:Qlp
CAPITOL BETWEEN DAVENPORT AND BLOOMINGTON.
Comment:
It is recommended that a "Tow Away Zone" be
established in the above
areas to insure a free traffic lane for the
University buses as well
as to insure access for emergency vehicles such
as Fire and Police.
The above areas have been established as no
parking zones, however,
vehicles are left in these no parking zones
and, although they are
ticketed, they cannot be towed for a period
of 24 hours after the
ticket is issued. These illegally parked vehicles result in the
two streets being effectively blocked for emergency vehicles. The
City Manager and staff recommend adoption of this resolution.
