Residents’ complaints about recreational vehicles and trailers hogging on-street parking spaces prompted Latrobe Council to look at amending its parking regulations to prohibit the practice.
At its May 10 meeting, council is expected to consider an ordinance change that would keep such vehicles from taking up street parking except for limited times in particular circumstances.
City Manager Michael Gray proposed prohibiting parking of RVs, boats and unattached trailers on city streets except in specific situations. He said homeowners would be allowed to park RVs on the street in front of their property for up to 72 hours, for loading and unloading purposes, or for winterizing the vehicle or preparing it for a trip, if they provide advance notice to the city.

City council is expected to begin the refinancing process by selecting a bond counsel and underwriter at a special Feb. 22 meeting.
