Analysis
Buses are currently prohibited from parking on the highways of the city except in areas designated by the transit stop technical committee.

Parking or leaving a bus standing in a designated area without a valid permit and sign is punished in the same manner as currently provided for parking at areas not designated by the transit stop technical committee.

The ordinance further provides that the procedures for approval or denial of a permit application, and for renewal, non-renewal or revocation of a permit are the same as those provided at s. 101-23.7 for loading and unloading zone permits.
