A. Issue
Public Works crews are having difficulty navigating certain alley intersections
B. Background/Options
The street abutting 8121 W. Portland (south side) currently has 2-hour parking from 9:00AM to 4:00 PM except Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. A 90-day trial included no parking anytime at this location. Staff is now recommending to instead prohibit parking from 7:00am until 3:00pm at this location.
The north side of Portland Avenue did not undergo a 90-day trial. However, after reviewing field operations with a DPW refuse vehicle, staff is recommending to prohibit parking anytime from 100-feet west of Portland Avenue to 159-feet west of Portland Avenue, or approximately one vehicle parking length on either side of the alley.
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 prepare an ordinance to prohibit parking from 7:00am until 3:00pm except Saturday, Sunday, and Holidays on the south side of Portland Avenue from 114-feet west of Glenview Avenue to 160-feet west of Glenview Avenue and to prohibit parking anytime on the north side of Portland Avenue from 100-feet west of Glenview Avenue to 159-feet west of Glenview Avenue.
