Approval
Approved
Background
The residents that live along Flournoy Drive requested that parking

restrictions be implemented and revised on Flournoy Drive because cars parked

along the street restricts access to their property, blocks emergency vehicles

and limits two-way traffic.
Analysis
The Traffic Engineering Division received a written petition request from all

the residents along this segment of Flournoy Drive to modify the parking along

this section of the street. Mr. Bill Huff contacted our office requesting that

the No Parking Anytime zone not be established in front of his house and that a

No Parking Anytime zone be established along Cherokee Avenue next to his

property.

Financial Considerations
The cost to install the parking signs will come out of Traffic Engineering

Division's operating budget.

Projected Annual Fiscal Impact Statement
There are not any annual fiscal impacts anticipated.
Legal Considerations
All traffic ordinances require Council approval.

Recommendations/ Actions
Approve the proposed parking restrictions along Flournoy Drive and Cherokee

Avenue.
