A tweak to the city's code to loosen parking restrictions prompted public confusion and frustration that spilled into the Aubrey council chambers on Aug. 27.
Several residents spoke against making parking more strict, and city staff attempted to clarify what Ordinance 971-26 would actually mean for the community.
'Currently, our ordinance only allows a resident's vehicle parked in the street for a 24-hour period,' Aubrey Police Chief Richard Brooks said before the vote was held. 'After that, it is in violation of ordinance. In reviewing that, that would mean if you work Monday through Friday and you, on the weekend, park your vehicle on the street at your home on the street at 6 o'clock Friday evening, at 6 o'clock Saturday, you would get a violation.'
