Agenda Report #



TO: Mayor and Council



SUBJECT: No Parking Zone ? Fifth Street



INITIATED BY: Engineering







Recommendation: Approval is hereby requested to establish a ?No Parking?

ordinance from 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM on Sundays on both the north and south curbs

of Fifth Street beginning at the east curb of Second Ave and running east to

the west curb of Third Avenue.



Background: Citizens are having a difficult time crossing the street

when parked cars block the mid-block crosswalk between the church parking lot

on the north side of Fifth Street and the entrance to the church on the south

side of Fifth Street. The Fourth Street Baptist Church requested this No

Parking zone to improve safety of the congregation on Sundays.



Analysis: The proposed parking restriction will only affect property owned by

the Fourth Street Baptist Church. There is adequate off-street parking on the

north side of Fifth St for use during church activities.



Financial Considerations: The cost of the ?No Parking? signs with a time limit

plaque 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? ordinance along the above

described segment of Fifth Street.
