Leavenworth, WALocal News

The City Council of Leavenworth is actively seeking input from residents on a proposed plan to implement permitted residential parking in nine designated zones. This initiative is particularly important as the city anticipates increased visitor traffic due to the upcoming introduction of paid parking, which may lead to overflow in residential areas. By allowing residents to establish restricted parking for non-permitted vehicles, the proposal aims to ensure that local residents retain access to parking in their neighborhoods. The meeting, scheduled for March 23, 2021, at 6:30 PM, will be held via Zoom, providing an accessible platform for community engagement. This proposal underscores the city’s commitment to addressing local concerns and enhancing the quality of life for its residents.

The feedback collected during this session will be vital for shaping the final decision regarding parking regulations. Residents are encouraged to participate and voice their opinions on this significant issue that directly affects their daily lives. Ultimately, this initiative represents a proactive approach to urban planning and community involvement in Leavenworth.
