A. Issue
Demonstrated need for loading/unloading of person with disabilities.
B. Background/Options
Parking is currently unrestricted along 72nd Street. An individual requested a handicap parking stall to aid in loading and unloading a person with disabilities.
Staff met one-on-one with the property owner to assess the physical condition of the property. This on-site assessment was to determine if alternatives exist that would allow for loading and unloading upon the property itself rather than from the street. Due to the layout of retaining walls along the property’s narrow driveway, staff agrees that loading and unloading from the street is warranted.
Handicap parking now requires a 13-foot wide parking area, which is not feasible along 72nd. Therefore, staff worked with the property owner and is recommending a 15-minute parking trial on the east side of 72nd Street fronting 2154 N. 72nd Street. The property owner has stated support for this trial.
C. Strategic Plan (Area of Focus)
NA
D. Fiscal Impact
Minor expenses for the installation of signs. The existing sign budget will accommodate these expenses.
E. Recommendation
Direct staff to initiate a 90-day trial of 15-minute parking restrictions on the east side of 72nd Street fronting 2154 N. 72nd Street.
