Agenda Report #
TO: Mayor and Council
SUBJECT: Revised parking restrictions on Flournoy Drive and Cherokee
Avenue
INITIATED BY: Department of Engineering
Recommendation: Approve the attached ordinance that restricts parking to
"Two (2) hours from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM" along the east curb of Flournoy Drive
beginning at the south curb of 17th Street and running southwesterly to the
east curb of Cherokee Avenue, establish a ?No Parking Anytime? zone along the
west curb of Flournoy Drive beginning at the south curb of 17th Street and
running southwesterly a distance 626 feet south, establish a ?No Parking
Anytime? zone along the west curb of Flournoy Drive beginning the east curb of
Cherokee Avenue and running northeasterly a distance of 165 feet and
establishing a "No Parking Anytime" zone along the east curb of Cherokee Av and
running north a distance of 150 feet.
Background: The residents that live along Flournoy Drive requested that
parking restrictions be implemented and revised on Flournoy Drive because cars
parked along the street restricts access to their property, blocks emergency
vehicles and limits two-way traffic.
Analysis: The Traffic Engineering Division received a written petition request
from all the residents along this segment of Flournoy Drive to modify the
parking along this section of the street. Mr. Bill Huff contacted our office
requesting that the No Parking Anytime zone not be established in front of his
house and that a No Parking Anytime zone be established along Cherokee Avenue
next to his property.
Financial Considerations: The cost to install the parking signs will come out
of Traffic Engineering Division's operating budget.
Projected Annual Fiscal Impact Statement: There are not any annual fiscal
impacts anticipated.
Legal Considerations: All traffic ordinances require Council approval.
Recommendations/ Actions: Approve the proposed parking restrictions along
Flournoy Drive and Cherokee Avenue.
