Sheridan Passes No Parking Ordinance for North Side of 246

At their regular City Council meeting this month, the Sheridan City Council passed an ordinance banning parking along the north side of 246 across the street from the storefront. Vehicles will still be allowed to park along the south side. The city had requested a study from the Missouri Department of Transportation, who found that it impeded the flow of traffic. In 2006, the city had passed a truck parking ordinance on the east side of the park, citing what they said were safety issues with kids running out into the road from behind trucks.

The ordinance will take effect upon the signature of Mayor Ashley Rush, who was out of town, and the placement of No Parking signs by the DOT. The vote was unanimous.

The city no longer owns the former DOT building west of Sheridan. Littering and dumping is not permitted there. The city recently sold the building to Bart Hawk after soliciting bids for the property. The sale price was $30,000. Hawk was the lone bidder.
