A. Issue
An MTCS transit stop and layover location recently moved. The owners of the property at 12217/19 W. North Avenue request additional on-street parking.
B. Background/Options
MCTS operated a bus stop and layover location on the south side of North Avenue, west of 122nd Street. The bus stop and layover location was moved at the beginning of June to a location east of 122nd Street. Additionally, a request was received from the owners of the property at 12217/19 W. North Avenue for additional on-street parking for their dentist office patients.
In review of existing ordinances, parking is currently prohibited on the south side of North Avenue from 122nd Street to 50-feet west of 122nd Street, currently allowed from 50-feet west of 122nd Street to 90-feet west of 122nd Street, and restricted to one-hour parking from nine a.m. to seven p.m. except on Sundays and legal holidays from 90-feet west of 122nd Street to 124th Street.
With the relocation of the MCTS bus stop, and in consideration of the property owner’s request to accommodate patients with visits longer than one hour, staff recommends eliminating parking restrictions along the south side of North Avenue from 122nd Street to 165-feet west of 122nd Street.
C. Strategic Plan (Area of Focus)
N/A
D. Fiscal Impact
Minor expenses for the removal or installation of signs. The existing sign budget will accommodate these expenses.
E. Recommendation
Direct staff to prepare an ordinance to eliminate parking restrictions along the south side of North Avenue from 122nd Street to 165-feet west of 122nd Street.
Location of Proposed Ordinance Change
North Avenue, 122nd Street to 165-feet west of 122nd Street
