body
A. Issue
The North Avenue Parking Study recommended a two-hour parking zone from nine a.m. to six p.m. except on Sundays and legal holidays on the west side of Lefeber Avenue from 150-feet south of North Avenue to North Avenue.
B. Background/Options
A two-hour parking zone exists from nine a.m. to six p.m. except on Sundays and legal holidays on the west side of Lefeber Avenue from Garfield Avenue to 155-feet south of North Avenue. No parking restrictions exist from 155-feet south of North Avenue to North Avenue.
BB's on North, located at 7237 West North Avenue, requested that the City extend the two-hour parking zone to North Avenue from its current termination point 155-feet south of North Avenue. The request was made to encourage turn-over of parked vehicles in the commercial district.
In review of the September 2016 North Avenue Parking Improvement Plan and based on discussions with the Director of Public Works, it was the intent that a two-hour parking zone would be signed from nine a.m. to six p.m. except Sundays and legal holidays on the west side of Lefeber Avenue from 155-feet south of North Avenue to North Avenue.
Therefore, the following is recommended:
* Initiate a 90-day trial of a two-hour parking zone from nine a.m. to six p.m. except Sundays and legal holidays on the west side of Lefeber Avenue from 155-feet south of North Avenue to North Avenue.
If approved, City staff will post temporary signs for a 90-day trial period. This period will conclude 90-days after all sign changes have been completed at which time this matter will return to the Committee for a final decision.
