Agenda Report #
TO: Mayor and Council
SUBJECT: "No Parking - AnyTime" Zone - Highland Pines Dr
INITIATED BY: Engineering Department
______________________________________________________________
Recommendation: Approval is hereby requested to establish a "No Parking
- Anytime" ordinance on both the north and south edges of Highland Pines Dr,
beginning at Fortson Rd and running westerly for 240 feet, which is to the east
property lines of 2906 and 2909 Highland Pines Dr.
Background: Persons have been parking their cars and trailers along
Highland Pines Dr near its intersection with Fortson Rd. The purpose of this
"No Parking - Any Time " zone is to improve safety of the motorist and
pedestrians along this narrow roadway in response to a CitiLink request.
Analysis: The proposed parking restriction will affect the pedestrians and
motorists on Highland Pines Dr who are in conflict with each other. The
improvement in terms of traffic safety along Highland Pines Dr will offset any
inconvenience caused to homeowners along the roadway. A parking survey resulted
in two persons agreeing with the provision and one person opposed to it.
Financial Considerations: The cost of "No Parking - Anytime" signs would
be approximately $125.00 each and will be charged to the Traffic Engineering
Division Operating Budget.
Legal Considerations: All No Parking ordinances require approval by
Council.
Recommendations/ Actions: Approve a "No Parking - Anytime" ordinance
along the above described segment of Highland Pines Dr.
