§ 211. Authority to regulate parking The City Council shall have control of the parkings upon each street of said City, including the right to permit, regulate, or prohibit the placing of signs within and upon said parkings

• . Said parkings shall be understood and held to be the space between
  the curb or gutter and the street line on each side of the street, except so much
  thereof as may be occupied by publicly owned and maintained sidewalks. The City Council
  shall also have control of these areas in the center of streets not used for traffic.
  In case said parkings are not properly cared for by the owners of the property abutting
  thereon, the City Council may, in its discretion, and shall, upon petition of the
  majority owners of the abutting property on such street or any block or blocks upon
  such street, cause such parkings to be properly cared for, the grass cut, weeds destroyed,
  and such work done as they deem necessary; and the cost of doing such work shall be
  assessed upon abutting property as provided in the preceding section. Provided, however,
  that nothing in this section shall interfere with the necessary work of the City in
  its work on the streets, curbing, sidewalks, or in making sewer connections in any
  such streets, or of the City in making or repairing water connections.
