New Braunfels City Council members on Monday gave initial approval to an item restricting parking around the landscaped islands that lie on the outside edges of the cityâs Main Plaza.
Public Works Director Greg Malatek told council members that the cityâs Parks and Recreation Department requested the restriction around the landscaped islands, as vehicles have been obstructing the flow of traffic and preventing Parks Department employees from accessing the landscaping and downtown public restrooms to perform cleaning and maintenance.
âItâs impairing mobility,â Malatek said. âProbably the biggest thing is, for folks that have parked in the designated parking, if somebody was to back up, they could hit one of these vehicles.â
