A. Issue
On-street parking impacts travel and access along 84th Street
B. Background/Options
Signed parking restrictions exist along the west side of 84th Street from North Avenue to 53 feet north of North Avenue. No other signed parking restrictions exist along 84th Street between North Avenue and Meinecke Avenue.
84th Street is 30 feet wide curb-to-curb. When vehicles are parked on both sides of the street, the street is effectively narrowed to a 14-foot wide travel lane for two-way traffic.
Engineering staff recommends initiating a 90-day trial for parking prohibitions at three locations along 84th Street: on the west side of 84th Street in front of 2357 N 84th Street; on the east side of 84th Street in front of 2336 N 84th Street; and on the west side of 84th Street in front of the north 17 feet of 2321 N 84th Street. These three locations are spaced approximately 150 feet apart and will provide locations for vehicles in opposing directions to pass one another and for vehicles to make turning maneuvers. A map showing the proposed locations for a trial of parking prohibitions along 84th Street is attached.
C. Strategic Plan (Area of Focus)
N/A
D. Fiscal Impact
Minor expenses for the installations of signs. The existing sign budget will accommodate these expenses.
E. Recommendation
Direct staff to initiate a 90-day trial of parking prohibitions on the west side of 84th Street in front of 2357 N 84th Street; on the east side of 84th Street in front of 2336 N 84th Street; and on the west side of 84th Street in front of the north 17 feet of 2321 N 84th Stre...
