No parking 3 to 5 a.m. signs will go

Ordinance will remain in effect
Posted by Fred Steiner on September 11, 2019 - 2:52pm

Bluffton council’s streets and alleys committee covered 18 topics in its 77-minute meeting on Sept. 4.

Among items on its agenda included an agreement – approved by the full council on Sept. 9 –  to remove "No parking 3 to 5 a.m. - without permit" signs on 10 village streets.

The signs were installed during an era when Bluffton University students were parking on these streets due to the lack of parking areas on campus. That parking issue was later addressed by the university, making the signs a moot point.
