AI summary

This lapsed bill would have prohibited vehicle parking on the north, east, and south aprons of City Hall, except for licensed contractors doing active work, vehicles operated by the Center City District for maintaining Dilworth Park, and other vehicles with a temporary permit. It also would have made the area a tow-away zone for unauthorized vehicles, required visible proof of permission, and required an online list of parking permits.
