MOUNTAIN VIEW (KPIX 5) — Despite a passionate plea from residents, Mountain View city council members passed a ban Tuesday night on oversized vehicles on most “narrow” streets as well as streets with designated bike lanes.

“People can’t comprehend this, there’s nowhere to go,” said Janet Stevens.

The ban comes years after its proposal and months of discussions. The ban on narrow streets, which are defined as 40 feet wide or less, will take effect July 1, 2020. The ban on streets with bike lanes will take effect after a second reading later this year.
