Columbus Consolidated Government
Council Meeting
Agenda Report #_____
TO: Mayor and Councilors
SUBJECT: Parking Restrictions on Billings Road
INITIATED BY: Department of Engineering ? Traffic Engineering Division
_________________________________________________
Recommendation: Approve the attached ordinance that establishes a ?No
Parking Anytime? zone on Billings Road between Brittany Drive and Old Dominion
Road.
Background: The Fall Line Trace crosses Billings Road approximately midway
between Brittany Drive and Old Dominion Road. Cyclists and pedestrians
frequently park their vehicles along the shoulder of Billings Road to access
the Trace. These parked vehicles restrict visibility for other cyclists and
pedestrians on the Trace as they attempt to cross Billings Road. Likewise, the
parked vehicles also restrict the ability of the drivers on Billings Road to
see the approaching cyclists and pedestrians.
Analysis: ?No Parking Anytime? zones are needed along both shoulders to retain
the proper sight distance at the intersection of Billings Road and the Fall
Line Trace.
Financial Considerations: All costs to install the ?No Parking Anytime? signs
will come from the Traffic Engineering Division?s operating budget.
Projected Annual Fiscal Impact Statement: All costs to repair/replace
vandalized or damaged signs shall come from the Traffic Engineering Division?s
operating budget.
Legal Considerations: All traffic ordinances require Council approval.
Recommendations/Actions: Approve the proposed ?No Parking Anytime? ordinance
for Billings
Road.
