Cheyenne City Council To Consider Oversize Vehicle Ban, Paid Parking

The Cheyenne City Council is expected to take up a proposed Oversize Vehicle Ban on second reading tonight at the regular council meeting.

You can read the ordinance here.

The proposed law would ban parking oversized vehicles on city streets for more than 72 hours, allowing for the purpose of loading, unloading, winterizing or de-winterizing the vehicle.

Definitions Of Oversized Vehicles

The proposal defines 'oversized vehicle": "Oversized vehicle" shall mean any vehicle or any combination of vehicles which exceeds twenty-five (25) feet in length, seven (7) feet in width or eight (8) feet in height, exclusive of projecting lights and other devices allowed by title 31, chapter 5, article 9 of Wyoming statutes. "Oversized vehicle" shall not include any tractor unit subject to Section 10.52.020 of the Cheyenne city code;"

The proposal passed the Committee of the Whole on a voice vote on Wednesday night, although several council members expressed concerns about various provisions and indicated some changes might be needed.

It would need to pass a third and final reading before becoming law.

Also on the agenda tonight is a resolution creating a paid parking district in downtown Cheyenne. You can read the resolution and see a map of the proposed district here.

The council will meet in regular session tonight at 6 p.m. in council chambers in the city Municipal Building at 2101 O'Neil Ave.
