A. Issue
Public Works crews are having difficulty navigating certain alley intersections
B. Background/Options
The street abutting 8124 W Gridley and 8130 W Gridley (north 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 from 192-feet to 236-feet west of Glenview Avenue. Staff is now recommending to instead prohibit parking anytime from 179-feet to 248-feet west of Glenview Avenue.
The south side of Gridley 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 161-feet west of Portland Avenue to 249-feet west of Portland Avenue, which is a little more than 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 on the north side of Gridley Avenue from 179-feet west of Glenview Avenue to 248-feet west of Glenview Avenue and on the south side of Gridley Avenue from 161-feet west of Glenview Avenue to 249-feet west of Glenview Avenue.
