1. PURPOSE. The common council finds that certain streets experience high demand for parking which restricts the accessibility of street sweeping brooms to the curb line.

Designated streets are to be found in the common council proceedings, the official record on file in the city clerk’s office, and the code on file in the legislative reference bureau.
3. EXCEPTIONS. This section shall not apply to any of the following:
a. An emergency vehicle, including but not limited to an ambulance, fire department vehicle or police department vehicle.
