A. Issue
On-street parking impacts travel and access along 85th Street.
B. Background/Options
Parking is currently prohibited for more than 2 hours between 9 am and 6 pm on 85th Street between Hawthorne Avenue and Hill Street.
85th Street measures 24 feet curb-to-curb. When vehicles are parked on both sides of the street, the street is effectively narrowed to an 8-foot wide travel lane for two-way traffic.
A 90-day trial prohibited parking at any time on the west side of 85th Street from Hawthorne Avenue to the north property line of 169 N 85th Street.
Staff recommends permanently prohibiting parking at any time on the west side of 85th Street from Hawthorne Avenue to the north property line of 169 N 85th Street.
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 prepare an ordinance to prohibit parking at any time on the west side of 85th Street from Hawthorne Avenue to the north property line of 169 N 85th Street.
