Agenda Report #



TO: Mayor and Council



SUBJECT: 43rd Street - Proposed No Parking Zone



INITIATED BY: Department of Engineering







Recommendation: Approve the attached ordinance enacting a No Parking

Anytime Zone for School Days Only along the north curb of 43rd Street beginning

at the East curb of River Road and running East a distance of 1,084 feet.



Background: The residences along the south side of 43rd Street have

complained to Columbus Tech about students parking along both the north and

south curbs behind the Columbus Tech property blocking two-way traffic.



Analysis: All students attending Columbus Tech are supposed to purchase a

Parking Permit to park on school property. The removal of on-street parking

along the north curb of 43rd Street will encourage students to park in Columbus

Tech parking lots and insure that two-way traffic can be maintained along 43rd

Street.



Forty-two Parking Surveys were sent to the residences along 43rd Street from

River Road to Earline Avenue receiving fourteen responses for which a summary

is attached. The majority of the responses supported the proposed restrictions

with the provision of ending the restrictions at the east side of the Columbus

Tech property.





Financial Considerations: The installation of the No Parking Anytime signs will

cost the City approximately $350.00.



Projected Annual Fiscal Impact Statement: The only future impact to the City is

to replace any damaged No Parking signs.



Legal Considerations: A No Parking Anytime Zone requires an ordinance adopted

by Council.



Recommendations/ Actions: Approve a No Parking Anytime Zone for School Days

Only along the north curb of 43rd Street beginning at the East curb of River

Road and running East a distance of approximately 1,084 feet.
