Ordinance Restricting Large Commercial Vehicles From Street Parking Dominates City Council Public Speaking

Last Thursday, to thunderous applause, City Councilwoman Maria Pereira was escorted out of City Hall Chambers by police for threatening a school bus driver during a public hearing before a council committee to revisit an ordinance that restricts large commercial vehicles from parking on city streets carrying a $250 fine.

Pereira was arrested for disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor.

The school bus drivers seek a carve out from the heavy commercial vehicles impacting quality of life on city streets. City officials are reworking language to bring back to the legislative body for action.

Pereira promises a lawsuit if the council votes for an exemption for bus drivers, something Eneida Martinez vehemently supports, even slipping into a rubber bus at the last full council meeting to hammer home her point.

Last week’s packed public hearing took place before the Ordinance Committee that Martinez co chairs.

A number of citizens are signed up to speak tonight (Monday) during the public speaking portion of the council meeting including Pereira.

  1. IDK, people. I know this is what Port Politics roll. It far from boring; I mean, you’ve got to love the “Thank You’s” for better or worse. 🤣

    I am sure the “solution is out there, Port.

    P.S. Pencil Box. While I have no hard feelings about you insulting my parents for my upbringing. Just understand your kind do feast on their own. It there nature; they can’t help it. There go good at it, well they hide it well, like camouflage, chameleons.

    Do by that; just ask Wanda, Martize. JS

      1. Y’all know how I feel about Port elections and billboards. Steve, perhaps in the next election cycle you should advertise when you run, Pun intended 🙂

        Billboards with the words THANK YOU PORT in large letters, with a hand shot. 🤣

        PS: Pencil Box, while you should check your “righteousness” anger when defending people with “unique” needs. You really shouldn’t entertain the notion of suicide. JS
