Parking lot exemptions added to revised snow ordinance

By:

The Hampton City Council discussed a proposal at last Thursday’s meeting that would establish designated parking areas at three public lots when the emergency snow ordinance is in effect.
     The proposal was only one on a list of changes included in a draft amendment to the city’s current snow ordinance. Certain questions were raised about the policy in January, which led the council to investigate possible improvements and other clarifications.
     If approved, the amendment would allow parking on city-owned property at three locations when the snow ordinance is in effect: the library’s east parking lot, the north downtown lot at the corner of Second Street Northwest and Third Avenue Northwest, and the lower parking area at Progress Park between the basketball court and tennis court. All vehicles would need to be removed from the designated areas within 24 hours after the ordinance is lifted.
