What this means
The committee approved a broad set of changes to street and parking rules that affect where vehicles must stop, which streets are one-way, and where speed limits are set to 20 mph. It also approved many individual disabled-parking permit postings and repeals, updated permit-parking zones and some parking meter locations, and formally asked the City of Chicago to prepare an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) transition plan. Some disabled-parking requests were approved despite the city departments not recommending them, meaning aldermen used their authority to pass those items.
