**Due to inclement weather, all Public Hearings which were to be held on Jan. 26 will be rescheduled to Monday, Feb. 23.
Fayetteville City Council is holding a public hearing at the next City Council regular meeting on Jan. 26 to receive public feedback and comments about the proposed Council Policy 160.09.2 - The Policy for Residents to Request “No Parking” in Multi-Use Lanes. Adopting this policy would allow residents to request the establishment of “No Parking” zones in multi-use lanes.
Multi-use lanes are lanes located next to the curb in residential areas and are separated from the traveled roadway by a shoulder line. This area is for preferential use by motor vehicle parking, pedestrian travel and recreational activities.
The proposed policy outlines a clear process for submitting and reviewing such requests and would be incorporated into the Residential Traffic Management Program (RTMP). If the policy were to be adopted, residents would have an option to request “No Parking” in multi-use lanes through a formal City process. The area requested would be reviewed and evaluated by City staff.
A minimum of 70% approval from affected residents on each side of the street would be required, with signatures collected through a mailed ballot process open for 60 days. Property owners, renters and tenants may participate, with property owners’ signatures prevailing in the event of a dispute.
If a request does not meet the required threshold, a new request for the same area may be submitted after six months. Once a “No Parking” zone has been in place for at least one year, residents may request its removal using the same approval process.
Any changes to parking restrictions would require City Council approval.
Currently, the City does not have a formal “No Parking” request process. This proposal was developed in response to direction from the City Council at the June 2, 2025 work session.
The proposal has already garnered mixed opinions from local businesses and residents.
According to Longleaf Pine REALTORS®, if adopted, this policy could:
