Traffic -- All-nl~ht Parking Mr. Chas. Adams, Manager of "the Baxter Hotel, appeared before the Commission to dis- cuss the all-night parking of cars on the city streets. Mr. Adams stated that the garage located near the hotel now closes at midnight, and their ~uests do not like to park their cars in the lot prOVided by the hotel. As the City's Traffic Ordinance does not permit all-night parking on the streets Mr. Adams felt that some means should be prOVided whereby three or four guest cars could be parked on Main Street or on Willson Avenue next to the hotel after midnight, and thought this would encourage transients to stop in Bozeman which would benefit all residents of this community. He stated further that some hotel guests whose cars are tagged by police for all- night parking become very indigna~t and say that Bozeman is the only City in the state which does not permit all-night parking. It was explained that all-night parking was not permitted because of the necessity of cleaning the streets and that in the winter time, the streets might need to be cleaned any night. Manager Quinnell also explained that it is necessary to sweep the pavements several times each week and to wash them at least once each week, and that all such work had to be done at night It was suggested that all-night parking might be allowed on side streets when Main Street is to be cleaned and that the hotel could notify its guests accordingly. It was argued that this would only lead to confusion because the streets are cleaned at diff- erent times; It seemed to be a auestion of whether or not cars should park all night or if the street should be cleaned. After further comments and discussion, it was decided to have the Street Superinten- dent and the Chief of Police attend the next Connnission meeting and to discuss with them the feasibility of parking cars on the streets all night. It was also suggested that the matter could be discussed with officials from other cities at the Municipal League meeting to be held in Billings the first week in August.
