Commissioners unanimously denied a request to establish a no-parking zone on the east side of Wisconsin Street between Sixth and Seventh streets.

A resident of the neighborhood had asked for the no-parking zone after cars from the recently opened nearby Custom Highline auto dealership were parked on both sides of the street.

Commissioners denied the request, however, because no one from the neighborhood went to the Traffic Safety Commission or City Commission meetings to lobby for the change.

Zarif Haque, owner of Custom Highline, sent a letter to commissioners asking them to deny the request. He said he was willing to work with the neighbor to see whether another solution could be found.
