Residents said they don’t want to lose their on-street parking, but the city will look to make exceptions.

“City council has been considering a no parking ordinance and through the discussions, they have come up with a list of exclusions to be talked about tonight. That’s through listening to the residents along Greengarden and taking that feedback and working it into the ordinance,” said Dan Fritz, a consultant with Whitman Requardt Associates (WRA).

Some examples of exclusions include delivery trucks, landscaping, garbage pickup, and social events that may occur along the corridor.
