To: Mayor and City Council
From: Bradley G. Fortune, Chief of Police
Subject:
Title
Consider an ordinance of the City Council of the City of Keller, Texas, amending the Keller Code of Ordinances Chapter 18, Article III, Section 18-320 Parking on Public Streets, through the amendment of Section 18-320(1)(c) and the addition of new Sections 18-320(1)(d), 18-320(1)(e), and 18-320(1)(f); providing a repealing clause; providing a severability clause; and establishing an effective date.
BACKGROUND:
Current ordinances address junked vehicles as well as vehicles with a GVWR which exceeds 14,000 lbs. Traffic safety concerns remain with larger box-type vehicles parking on the public street which are below 14,000. They create an obstructed view for drivers. This proposal reduces the maximum weight allowed from 14,000 to 11,000, providing additional enforcement options for the police department.
