Shakopee City Council
March 5, 2019


FROM:Ryan Halverson, Assistant City Engineer
TO:Mayor and Council Members
Subject:
No Parking Restriction for 12th Avenue and for Vierling Drive.
Policy/Action Requested:
Approve Resolution R2019-024, restricting parking on 12th Avenue from Vierling Drive to County State Aid Highway 83, and on Vierling Drive from Eagle Creek Boulevard to 12th Avenue.
Recommendation:
Adopt Resolution R2019-024.
Discussion:

The design for the reconstruction of 12th Avenue and construction of a roundabout at the intersection of 12th Avenue/Shenandoah Drive/Vierling Drive is underway as part of the Capital Improvement Plan project CIF-19-004. These existing collector roadways are designated by the city as part of the Municipal State Aid system.

 

As part of the state rules for state aid roadways, certain travel lane and parking lane width requirements must be adhered to. The existing segments on 12th Avenue from Vierling Drive to County State Aid Highway 83 and on Vierling Drive from Eagle Creek Boulevard to 12th Avenue (see attached map) do not accommodate parking as do the proposed configurations of the roadways. Accordingly, the roadways must be designated and signed with "no parking" zones. A resolution from the city stating as such is required by the Minnesota Department of Transportation for State Aid plan approval confirming the state's design criteria are met.

Budget Impact:
None.
