Agenda Report #
TO: Mayor and Council
SUBJECT: Parking Restrictions on Midtown Drive and Citizens Way
INITIATED BY: Department of Engineering
Recommendation: Approve the attached ordinance that establishes ?No
Parking Anytime? zones along Midtown Drive and Citizens Way, ?Four Hour
Parking? zones along Midtown Drive, and ?Reserved Parking for Public Safety?,
?Handicap Parking?, and ?15 Minute Parking? zones along Citizens Way.
Background: Midtown Drive and Citizens Way both provide direct street
access to the Chattahoochee Valley Library, Muscogee County School District
Administration Building, Aquatics Center, and City Services Center. Each
facility is a significant traffic generator with adequate on-site parking for
citizens and employees.
Analysis: ?No Parking? zones are needed along both streets to maintain two-way
traffic flow. Time-restricted parking zones are needed along Midtown Drive to
accommodate buses and other large vehicles during special events at the
Aquatics Center and other facilities. Restricted parking zones are needed on
Citizens Way near the main entrance of the City Services Center to accommodate
vehicles used by the disabled, public safety agencies, and couriers.
Financial Considerations: The costs to stripe the on-street parking spaces and
to install the parking signs will come out of the Traffic Engineering operating
budget.
Projected Annual Fiscal Impact Statement: Should any signs be vandalized or
damaged, they will be replaced using Traffic Engineering funds.
Legal Considerations: All traffic ordinances require Council approval.
Recommendations/ Actions: Approve the proposed ?No Parking Anytime? and
?Restricted Parking? ordinance for Midtown Drive and Citizens Way.
