Subject:
No Parking Zone along County Road 101 Frontage Road
Policy/Action Requested:
Approve a no parking zone and installation of "No Parking" signs on both sides of the County Road 101 North Frontage Road West of CSAH 83.
Recommendation:
Approval of the parking zone restriction.
Discussion:

Recently, city staff and the police department have received complaints about semis parking on the County Road 101 north frontage road near The Landing. Use of the area includes unattached trailers, leaking fluids from vehicles damaging the pavement, personal vehicles left unattended for days at a time and an increase in litter in the area including mattresses, bottles with urine and bags with feces. Semis are also parking on both sides of the road restricting two way traffic and causing safety issues.

 

The Traffic Safety Committee reviewed and confirmed that the indicated parking and nuisance issues exist in the area. The Traffic Safety Committee recommends that a no parking zone be implemented along the County Road 101 Frontage Road.

Budget Impact:
No parking zone signs will be manufactured and installed by the Public Works Department. Each sign will cost $125 to manufacture and install. A total of 14 signs are needed for a total cost of $1,750. The signs will be funded by the Street Maintenance operating budget.
