Recently, city staff received a complaint about vehicles parking along the west side of Adams Street between the Tahpah Park entrance and Highway 169. This area is utilized by visitors to Tahpah Park during events where parking in the main lot is limited. This area has also been used during the winter for visitors using the hill west of Adams Street for sledding. While there is a shoulder wide enough to support parking, Adams Street is a high speed roadway in this location and there are no pedestrian facilities. This creates unsafe conditions for both pedestrians and drivers.

The Traffic Safety Committee reviewed and confirmed that parking along this segment of road is not desirable and creates safety hazards for the public. The Traffic Safety Committee recommends a no parking zone be implemented along the west side of Adams Street between the Tahpah Park entrance and Highway 169.
