The committee approved multiple local rules banning very large vehicles from parking overnight on specified streets and clarified that vehicles blocking peak‑hour lanes can be towed. The committee also approved, as amended, a motion to create a citywide program to limit oversize vehicle dwelling while designating streets where such vehicles may park; that program will move forward through committee referral for implementation details.
