After review and recommendation by the City of Noblesville Traffic Committee, the Noblesville Common Council at its March 15 meeting approved two parking restrictions for the entirety of Lafayette Road and part of Cherry Street off of 19th Street downtown.
The Lafayette Road restriction establishes no parking on either side of the road, as it is too narrow for traffic in both directions when on-street parking is utilized.
Approximately 70 feet of the north side of Cherry Street immediately west of 19th Street now restricts on-street parking.
The city’s traffic committee found the four-way stop at the intersection is difficult to maneuver because of on-street parking in this section of roadway, particularly large trucks and some public safety vehicles, like fire trucks.
