The deck is laid with transverse timber planks between pipe railings, and two square metal posts stand on the gravel approach in the foreground. Green trees crowd both sides.

A proposed New Braunfels parking restriction would clear both sides of Divine Way for about 165 feet southwest of its intersection with Fayette Drive.

Drivers would lose curbside parking within that segment if the ordinance is approved, changing how residents and visitors can use the street near the intersection.

The final City Council agenda schedules a public hearing and first reading for Monday, Aug. 10. The posting establishes that the restriction is proposed, not adopted.

The meeting begins at 6 p.m. in the City Hall Council Chambers. The agenda does not state what prompted the proposal or how many parking spaces the marked segment could hold.

The proposed restriction is limited to the described segment; the agenda identifies no parking changes elsewhere on Divine Way.

Because Monday’s item is a first reading, the council would need to complete the ordinance process before the prohibition could take effect.
