Bottom line

City commissioners will consider establishing a no-parking zone on the east side of Wisconsin Street from Sixth to Seventh streets.

Background

The Traffic Safety Commission recommended the change on a 6-1 vote at a previous meeting. One traffic safety commissioner voted against the request because he said it appeared that only one neighborhood resident was seeking the no-parking zone.
