Subject:
Parking control change on Scott Street from 1st Avenue to Levee Drive, Atwood Street from 1st Avenue to Levee Drive, and Levee Drive from Scott Street to Atwood Street.
Policy/Action Requested:
Approve a two-hour parking zone and installation of parking zone signs on Scott Street, Atwood Street and Levee Drive.
Recommendation:
Approval of the parking control change.
Discussion:

To facilitate the Shakopee Flats (River Bluffs) development, the area bounded by Scott Street on the west, Atwood Street on the east, County Road 69 on the south and Levee Drive on the north was rezoned as Central Business District. The Traffic Safety Committee conducted a review of parking restrictions in the Central Business District and the review showed that the majority of the Central Business District has two hour parking restrictions. As a result, the Traffic Safety Committee has recommended that parking along Scott Street, Atwood Street and Levee Drive be restricted to two hours on weekdays and Saturdays during business hours.

Budget Impact:
Parking zone signs were furnished and installed as part of the Shakopee Flats (River Bluffs) improvement project on Scott Street from 1st Avenue to Levee Drive, Atwood Street from 1st Avenue to Levee Drive, and Levee Drive from Scott Street to Atwood Street. The cost was absorbed as part of the project costs.
