The City Council finds that in order to preserve and protect the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of the city, it is desirable to reduce traffic congestion and facilitate easier and less dangerous passage of motor vehicles on city streets; to increase access for the fire department and other emergency services to property abutting a street; to facilitate snow removal as well as street repair and cleaning; to decrease the potential for motor vehicle larcenies; to preserve the safety of pedestrians; to improve visibility of nighttime police observation of property abutting streets and guard against unlawful entries; to aid the determination of abandoned vehicles; and to prevent conditions which are likely to create hazardous road conditions or impede or likely to impede the free movement of police, fire, health or other emergency traffic or citizens motor travel.
