Agenda Report #
TO: Mayor and Council
SUBJECT: Linden Point Parking restriction Agenda
INITIATED BY: Engineering
Recommendation: Approve the attached ordinance that will establish a ?No
parking Anytime? zone along Linden Point beginning at the north curb of Poplar
Street and running northerly along the west/outer curb circling clockwise
around the street loop along the east/outer curb and hence southerly back to
the north curb of Poplar Street.
Background: The citizens that live along Linden Point requested that a
parking restriction be implemented because cars parked along the street
restricts access to their property, blocks emergency vehicle and limits traffic
movement.
Analysis: The Traffic Engineering Division surveyed Linden Point because we
received a written request to eliminate parking along Linden Point. With the
survey, Traffic Engineering discovered that the width of the street, the narrow
shoulders and cars parked along both sides of the street made traffic movement
difficult on Linden Point. By limiting parking to the outer curb, the
restriction will improve access to the properties and the traffic movement
along the street. A summary of the survey is attached.
Financial Considerations: The cost to install the signs will come out of
Traffic Engineering operating budget.
Projected Annual Fiscal Impact Statement: No project annual fiscal impact.
Legal Considerations: All traffic ordinances require Council approval.
Recommendations/ Actions: Approve the proposed parking ordinance.
