Green Bay City Council Considers Proposal to Allow Overnight On-Street Parking During Warmer Months

Green Bay City Council Considers Proposal to Allow Overnight On-Street Parking During Warmer Months

The Green Bay City Council is considering a proposal to change the city's overnight parking restrictions, specifically to allow on-street parking from April 1st through October 31st. This initiative, spearheaded by Green Bay Alderperson Ben Delie, aims to address the growing need for parking space due to factors like shorter driveways and young adults staying home longer. The city council voted on Tuesday to have staff conduct an in-depth analysis of the issue. Currently, Green Bay has a ban on 3 to 5 a.m. on-street parking, with a $34 citation for violations. Residents can request overnight parking for specific reasons, such as disabled vehicles or houseguests, but are limited to six requests per year.
