The Fire Marshall requested that the Traffic Commission consider placing a"no parking zone" on the west

implemented.

Coinmission recommended a"no parking zone" be placed on west side of the road in the 200 block 2nd
Street SW in front of Christians in Acrion building. The Commission also declined to remove the existing
no parking zone on the east side of the 200 block of 2"d Street SW.
