Introduced: June 10, 2010

: Committee on Streets and Services

No one voted on this bill

This bill was introduced in the 2008–2011 Council term and when that term ran out. The public record shows no committee vote and no floor vote at any stage, so no member of Council ever went on record for or against it.

That is not unusual here. Of the 8,465 bills introduced between 2000 and 2025, 1,624 lapsed without a single recorded vote. Ninety percent of bills that became law carry a roll call. Three percent of lapsed bills do. How this works.

Plain-Language Summary

This bill makes it illegal for trucks to park on Townsend Road between Southampton Road and McNulty Road at any time. The road will be a 'tow-away zone', meaning trucks parked here can be towed.
