The City of Quincy acknowledges there are densely populated
residential areas within the City that are near nonresidential uses
that generate significant demand for parking. The City finds that
persons employed by or who use these nonresidential facilities frequently
park their vehicles on nearby residential streets, negatively affecting
the general well-being of residents by way of heavy congestion. This
residential permit parking ordinance aims to regulate parking in designated
residential areas to:
A. Reduce hazardous traffic conditions resulting from residents competing
with nonresidents to park in certain residential areas.
B. Promote traffic safety and safety of children and other pedestrians.
C. Protect residents of such areas from unreasonable burdens of obtaining
parking and accessing their residences.
D. Preserve the character of such areas and neighborhoods as residential.
E. Preserve values of property.
F. Encourage the use of public transportation.
G. Promote efficiency of maintenance to ensure clean, safe streets.
H. Promote the peace, comfort, convenience and welfare of all inhabitants
of the City.
I. Ensure reasonable access for visitor parking in areas regulated by
residential parking restrictions.
The right is reserved to modify or eliminate residential parking
permit areas under the same process for review as the original petition
as set forth above.
