Improvement and Services Committee - Oct 14, 2026
The city is buying 624 new 96-gallon carts to replace depleted inventory. Residents' container fees effectively pay for the purchase, and new developments get carts too.
Improvement and Services Committee - Jul 1, 2026
The city is rewriting its night parking ordinance to formalize how residents request overnight on-street parking. Approvals will be capped at 14 days and six per household per year, and longer requests will need committee and council sign-off. An amendment to allow seasonal (April-October) overnight parking is coming before the committee soon, giving residents a chance to weigh in.
Traffic, Bicycle & Pedestrian Commission - Jun 15, 2026
The Emilie Street 900 block moves from permit-only to 4-hour weekday parking, the 2-hour limits on Hubbard Street are gone, and Washington Street's overnight and loading rules were adjusted. All were trial-period changes that stuck.
