SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) – Pickups, vans and SUVs that are more than 18 feet long may be banned from parking in some areas on Phillips Avenue, in downtown Sioux Falls.
At the corner of 10th and Philips, you’ll find the Philips Avenue Diner.
General manager Ginger Robinson says customers ask about the parking frequently.
“All the time almost every day parking is an issue and it’s brought up. We actually have to keep quarters here to trade people so they can plug the meters,” Robinson said.
Robinson thinks banning larger vehicles along Phillips Avenue would help the flow of traffic.
“I’ve even experienced that myself just trying to drive down Phillip’s Avenue and the truck sticking out, you have to pull over into the other lane and that could cause an accident,” Robinson said.

Sioux Falls resident, Paul Marvin thinks it would be nice to increase the size of the parking spots.
“Well, it seems like it’s a little on a tight side. It’s just kind of hard to maneuver your car into a space like that. And the other thing I think I would say is that I think it’s a little on the expensive side,” Marvin said. “But again, I think it’s just kind of difficult to get in the space.”
