Sections

Analysis
This ordinance provides that motor trucks (certain types), luxury limousines, motor buses, motor delivery wagons, trailers, semitrailers, camping trailers, motor homes, mobile homes and tractors shall not be eligible for special privilege parking permits to allow parking on city streets overnight. This ordinance adds tow trucks to the list of permit-ineligible vehicle types. It also provides that, if an ineligible vehicle is parked on any street or highway between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m., the commissioner of public works or commissioner’s designee is authorized to placard the vehicle with a warning notice stating that if the vehicle is found parked on any street or highway between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. again in the next 30 days, the vehicle will be towed.
The placarding-and-towing provision will not apply to any motor truck with valid license plates issued by the Wisconsin department of transportation, division of motor vehicles, which is used for commercial purposes, which is not larger than 21 feet in length, 7 feet in width, and 7 feet in height, and which has no more than 2 single-tired wheels on the front axle and no more than 2 single-tired or double-tired wheels on the rear axle.
