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.
