South Haven is clarifying the Traffic Control Orders for four parts of the city. The city council last night approved a typo change to the TCO for Phoenix Street, made changes for Center Street with a school, made electric vehicle charging station parking only for EVs and clarified overnight beach parking. Councilmember Wendi Onuki was surprised by the overnight parking.

“I was wondering about overnight beach parking because I guess I didn’t realize that was a thing,” said Onuki.

“You cannot park on Lakeshore Drive, but there are certain areas such as the triangle of the Chicago Avenue parking lot and certain areas, certain roads where there is beach parking overnight. I think that’s Kalamazoo Avenue and Grand Boulevard,” responded City Manager Kate Hosier. Hosier says people have been getting tickets for being parked overnight in areas where they can leave their vehicles and they want to clear that up.
