From the City of Harrisonville Street Department

During the next few days, the Harrisonville Streets Department will be installing no parking signs on Bird Avenue from South Street to Mechanic Street.

Parking will be restricted on both sides of the road, as it serves as one of Harrisonville’s Emergency Snow Routes.

These parking changes are part of a larger ordinance that was passed on July 1, 2024, by the Board of Aldermen, to improve vehicle and pedestrian safety and visibility on City streets and to improve access for emergency service vehicles in the event of an emergency.

To view the full ordinance, visit pages 19-25 of the July 1, meeting packet >> https://harrisonvillecitymo.iqm2.com/Cit.../FileOpen.aspx...
