The alternate side parking ordinance passed by the City Council last year is apparently illegal and is no longer being enforced, the Council learned at its meeting Monday.
City Clerk Frederick H. Burke reported that the State Department of Public Works had not given the necessary approval to the Council's action.
State statute forbids all-night parking on any public way, as does a city ordinance. But the Council last year amended the city regulation to grant the all-night privilege.
Burke said he had notified the Cambridge Police Department of the status of the all-night, alternate side rule, and that police were again enforcing the old no parking regulation.
