New proposed parking ramp ordinance

A step toward enhanced safety and maintenance

The City is seeking feedback on a proposed parking ramp licensing ordinance that aims to ensure public safety and infrastructure integrity by requiring that parking ramps older than five years undergo a systematic monitoring process. The proposed ordinance would, if approved by City Council, be enacted in 2026.

A well-maintained parking ramp is essential for vehicular storage. This ordinance would promote safety, encourage maintenance and provide opportunity for data collection to inform future infrastructure initiatives.
