Official:Establishing a parking regulation on Germantown Avenue, W. Phil-Ellena Street to Gorgas Lane, both sides.
Sponsor: Councilmember Bass
Introduced: October 25, 2018
: Committee on Streets and Services
Status: Lapsed
This bill was introduced in the 2016–2019 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.
This bill establishes two-hour parking regulations on Germantown Avenue from West Phil-Ellena Street to Gorgas Lane. The west side will have two-hour parking Monday through Saturday from 8am-6pm, and the east side will have two-hour parking Monday through Friday from 8am-6pm.
