City Council, at its Feb. 21 meeting, enacted an ordinance that extends from 24 to 72 hours the time RVs (and other specified vehicles) can be parked on city streets.

The ordinance stipulates that moving the vehicle a short distance or driving it around the block does not start another 72-hour period. And the RV may not be used for dwelling or sleeping purposes while parked.

The ordinance also prohibits RVs from parking in a manner that impedes visibility of pedestrian or vehicular traffic.

Fort Morgan is located 80 miles northeast of Denver.
