Two Pierce County councilmembers are spearheading a new effort to establish safe parking sites in unincorporated areas.
The measure would allow those experiencing homelessness to park their cars overnight in lots across the county, but with restrictions in place on how many sites would be allowed on either religious or commercial property.
This is the second time this legislation has been proposed. The first version was vetoed by the Pierce County Executive, who cited concerns about the legislative process that ended with the law being passed by a partisan 4-3 vote in the City Council. Young said the intent is to replace the pilot program with permanent regulations following review and analysis by the county’s planning department.
