Operators of private buses have from time to time been observed parking in a manner that obstructs access to and from businesses, occupying multiple on-street parking spaces or public transit bus zones, impairing sight distance for other motorists and pedestrians, and idling engines for significant periods of time. The operation of private buses in this manner creates unnecessary traffic congestion, increases the likelihood of safety hazards, and raises the noise and air pollution levels in the community. The city desires to regulate the parking of these private buses in order to promote the health, safety and welfare of its residents and visitors by prohibiting stopping, standing, loading or unloading of private buses from all public streets in the city.
