Agenda Item #______
Columbus Consolidated Government
Council Meeting
Agenda Report #_____
TO: Mayor and Councilors
SUBJECT: Parking Restrictions on Talokas Lane
INITIATED BY: Department of Engineering ? Traffic Engineering Division
Recommendation: Approve the attached ordinance that establishes a ?No
Parking Anytime? zone for the northernmost 455 feet of Talokas Lane along its
western curb.
Background: Talokas Lane provides access for semi-trucks to the rear loading
docks at the Walmart Supercenter on Gateway Drive. Many drivers park their
trucks along the western side of Talokas Lane while waiting to load or unload
at Walmart. The parked trucks restrict visibility for vehicles exiting the
commercial strip center on the western side of Talokas Lane, as they are unable
to see other trucks traveling south from the Walmart loading docks.
Analysis: A ?No Parking Anytime? zone is needed along the western side of
Talokas Lane to retain the proper intersection sight distance for vehicles
exiting the adjacent commercial strip center.
Financial Considerations: All costs to fabricate and install the ?No Parking
Anytime? signs shall 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 Talokas
Lane.
