(KLZA)-- The Falls City Council approved designating the south side of 13th Street between Harlan and Lane Streets as a no parking area when they met Monday evening.
Ward IV Council member Jim Wisdom noted there are numerous cars parked on both sides of 13th Street and also on the grass between the street and sidewalk which is illegal. He said it's hard for any vehicle to pass through and said there was no way an emergency vehicle could get through.
The Council also approved a request from Ben Simpson to open the alley behind his house in the 2600 block between Schoenheit Street and Hiland Avenue.
Simpson said he wanted at least the southern portion of the alley to be opened so he could utilize the garage behind his house.
Council members also approved a curb cut for a garage at 1901 Stone Street where property owner Bill Nussbaum intends to build a garage. One parking stall will be eliminated.
