Agenda Report - Ordinance Enacting a restriction of "No Parking Anytime" on Springer Street north and south curbs running easterly from 15th Avenue to 16th Avenue.

Initiator

Engineering

Recommendation

Approve an ordinance enacting a "No Parking Anytime" along the north and south \n \n curbs of Springer Street between 15th Avenue and 16th Avenue, 315 feet each \n \n side.

Approval

Approved

Background

The Traffic Engineering Division has received a request to enact parking

restrictions along Springer Street. An investigation reveals that this portion

of Springer Street is exceptionally narrow. The right of way is approximately

20 feet wide while the pavement is no more than 15 feet wide. Parking of

vehicles on one or both sides of this section of the roadway deters or prevents

passage of traffic safely along this portion of Springer Street. Also larger

vehicles such as City Sanitation and Emergency vehicles will find the street

impassable with vehicle parked on both sides of Springer Street.

Analysis

The Traffic Engineering Division surveyed four (4) property owners that adjoin

the proposed restricted area. There was one response in favor of the parking

restriction and no other responses submitted. All 4 of the properties along

Springer Street have off street parking from Springer Street and thus have no

need to park on the street.

Financial Considerations

The cost of installing Official Traffic Control signs will be derived from the

Traffic Engineering operating budget.

Projected Annual Fiscal Impact Statement

Legal Considerations

All ordinances require the approval of Council.

Recommendations/ Actions

Approve the ordinance enacting "No Parking Anytime" on Springer Street north

and south curbs running easterly from 15th Avenue to 16th Avenue
