Agenda Report #
TO: Mayor and Council
SUBJECT: Wildwood Avenue - Extension of Parking Restrictions
INITIATED BY: Department of Engineering
Recommendation: Approve the attached ordinance enacting a No Parking
Zone from 8 AM to 5 PM on School Days only along the west curb of Wildwood
Avenue, beginning at a point 46 feet north of the north curb of Young Street
and running south a distance of 206 feet to the north curb of Sonora Street.
Background: Columbus Council approved Ordinance 12-38 in August 2012 to
resolve issues of Columbus High students and others parking along Wildwood
Avenue near Wildwood Condominium. The No Parking Zone restricting parking
from 8 AM to 5 PM on School Days eliminated the issues of driveways being
blocked and with driveway sight distance.
There are three residents between the parking restriction of Ordinance 12-38
and Sonora Drive that continue to have the same problems requesting an
extension of said parking restrictions in front of their residents.
Analysis: Traffic Engineering mailed a Parking Survey to the three residents
of 1912, 1915 and 1921 Wildwood Avenue requesting their input for the proposed
parking restriction. We received responses from all three residents concurring
with the request. Therefore, Traffic Engineering recommends that the same
parking restriction be extended to the north curb of Sonora Street.
Financial Considerations: The installation of the No Parking Zone will cost the
City approximately $125.00.
Projected Annual Fiscal Impact Statement: The only future cost to the City is
in the event a No Parking sign has to be replaced. Such expenditures will be
derived from the Traffic Engineering Division?s annual operating budget.
Legal Considerations: A No Parking Zone requires an ordinance adopted by
Council.
Recommendations/ Actions: Approve a No Parking Zone for Wildwood Avenue as
described above.
