Columbus Consolidated Government

Council Meeting



December 18, 2001





Agenda Report #





TO: Mayor and Councilors



SUBJECT: 12th Street Parking Restrictions



INITIATED BY: Department of Engineering







Recommendation: Approve the attached ordinance enacting eight (8) hour parking

time limit along the north curb of 12th Street between the east curb of 5th

Avenue to the west curb of 6th Avenue.



Background: The Traffic Engineering Division received a request to change the

existing two (2) hour parking restrictions along this segment of 12th Street to

an eight (8) hour time limit.



Analysis: This segment of 12th Street is under utilized with the two (2) hour

parking time limit since there are not any active business fronting the north

curb. Businesses along 6th Avenue have a need for long term parking for which

this change will assist.



Alternatives: The existing traffic ordinance may remain in effect.



Financial Considerations: The Traffic Engineering Division will change parking

signs to reflect the eight (8) hour parking restrictions at a cost of about

$75.00.



Legal Considerations: A change in any traffic ordinances requires Council

approval.



Recommendations/Actions: Approve the change in parking time limits along this

segment of 12th Street to eight (8) hours.
