E. Pacific Street parking changes made permanent

Summary

Neighbors near a restaurant on E. Pacific Street say the trial parking changes helped that block but problems persist on Tonka, Vine, and Pacific — narrow streets clogged with parked cars, delivery trucks, and safety concerns for kids and emergency vehicles. The council approved the changes permanently and its alder pledged more work with traffic staff.
