Approval

Approved

Background

The City received complaints from the residents of the Wildwood Condominium

about vehicles parking on their side of the street blocking the driveway and

causing sight distance restrictions. This issue becomes more critical during

the school year when Columbus High students park on street around the school.

Analysis

The Traffic Engineering Division painted white traffic islands on each side of

the condo driveway over a year ago to discourage vehicles from parking too

close to the driveway. We find that motorists are not complying with this

traffic island.



Since the traffic islands are not working, the next logical step is to restrict

parking only in front of the condo property. The Traffic Engineering Division

submitted a Parking Survey to the residents of the condo giving them several

options. The majority of the responses selected the parking restriction

described in the attached ordinance. . A summary of the Parking Survey

responses is attached as information.

Financial Considerations

The installation of the No Parking Anytime Zone will cost the City

approximately $100.00.

Projected Annual Fiscal Impact Statement

There is minimal annual fiscal impact in that should a No Parking Anytime sign

be knocked down or damaged, it will be replaced funder by the Traffic

Engineering Division?s annual operating budget.

Legal Considerations

A No Parking Anytime Zone requires an ordinance adopted by Council.

Recommendations/ Actions

Approve No Parking Anytime Zone for Wildwood Avenue as described above.
