Subject:
No Parking Zone along Maras Street from 13th Avenue to Hansen Avenue and Hansen Avenue from Stagecoach Road to Maras Street.
Policy/Action Requested:
Approve a no parking zone and installation of "No Parking" signs on both sides of Maras Street from 13th Avenue to Hansen Avenue and on both sides of Hansen Avenue from Stagecoach Road to Maras Street.
Recommendation:
Approval of the parking zone restriction.
Discussion:

Recently, the city has received several parking related complaints along both Maras Street and Hansen Avenue. Property and business owners have stated that semis parking along the roadways cause operational and safety issues for vehicles entering and exiting private property. Parked vehicles block sight lines and restrict turning movements. 

 

The Traffic Safety Committee reviewed the request and confirmed that parking issues exist in the area. The Traffic Safety Committee recommends that a no parking zone be implemented along Maras Street and Hansen Avenue. The signs will be designed and installed with the street reconstruction project.

Budget Impact:
Parking zone signs will be furnished and installed as part of the street reconstruction project along Maras Street and Hansen Avenue. The cost will be absorbed as part of the project costs.
