A. Issue
On-street parking impacts turning movements and access at the dead end on Chestnut Street.
B. Background/Options
Parking is currently unrestricted on Chestnut Street.
Chestnut Street measures 25.5 feet curb-to-curb. When vehicles are parked on one or both sides of Chestnut Street near the dead end, there is insufficient space for turning movements, which limits access for garbage collection trucks, snow plows and other vehicles.
Engineering staff recommends initiating a 90-day trial of parking prohibitions at any time on the north side of Chestnut Street from Robertson Street to 143 feet east thereof and on the south side of Chestnut Street from Robertson Street to 88 feet east thereof.
C. Strategic Plan (Area of Focus)
N/A
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 parking prohibitions at any time on the north side of Chestnut Street from Robertson Street to 143 feet east thereof and on the south side of Chestnut Street from Robertson Street to 88 feet east thereof.
