  • The Council finds that streets in certain residential areas are congested because of heavy residential and non-residential traffic and parking. It is the purpose of this subsection to stem the flow of commuter traffic from institutional, commercial and industrial districts into an adjoining residential neighborhood; to reduce air pollution and other environmental effects of automobile commuting, and to enhance the quality of life in the residential area by reducing noise, traffic hazards and litter; to protect the residents from unreasonable burdens in gaining access to their residences; to preserve the character of the residential district as such; to promote efficiency in the maintenance of these streets in a clean and safe condition; to preserve the value of property; to preserve the safety of children and other pedestrians and traffic safety, and to promote the peace, good order, comfort, convenience and welfare of the inhabitants of the City. The provisions of this subsection, providing for parking by permit only, are deemed to be in furtherance of such objectives.
