Rocky River City Council is holding a Special Meeting tonight, Monday, September 15, 2025. There are several ordinances that we want the community to be aware of and provide their input.
Ordinance 49-25
This would amend our parking code to prohibit parking within 3 feet of a public or private driveway. We’ve had several complaints from residents about this issue, especially on Dale Ave. regarding Magnificat students parking too close to driveways.
Ordinance 50-25
This would define and prohibit camping on public property and within public rights of way. This is aimed at unhoused individuals.
Ordinance 51-25
This would amend our code to prohibit sleeping in municipal parks. This is also aimed at unhoused individuals.
Ordinance 52-25
This would amend our traffic code to prohibit the operation of low speed and under speed vehicles on city streets. This is primarily aimed at prohibiting golf carts on city streets.
Ordinance 54-25
This would prohibit certain solicitation practices. It is aimed at “aggressive” solicitation practices and also aimed to prohibit solicitations in public places such as banks, ATMs, pedestrians waiting in line or going into a building, outdoor dining areas, entrances or exits to public buildings, facilities, or parking lots, at bus stops or on public transportation, and prohibits blocking safe passage of people or vehicles. It also prohibits use of “misleading statements” such as misrepresenting employment, veteran status, medical conditions, or homelessness. This is aimed at “panhandlers.”
