FROM:Micah Heckman, Assistant City Engineer
TO:Mayor and Council Members
Subject:
No Parking Zone along Hentges Way.
Policy/Action Requested:
Approve a no parking zone and installation of "No Parking" signs on Hentges Way west of the roundabout at Stagecoach Road.
Recommendation:
Approve the parking zone restriction.
Discussion:

Engineering staff received a request from the Police Department to add a no parking zone on Hentges Way. The Police Department mentioned that semi trucks queue up on both the north and south side of the road while waiting to access a local business. The shoulder along Hentges Way is not wide enough to accommodate semi parking, which causes the thru lanes to be restricted and impacts access to and from businesses along Hentges Way.

 

After reviewing aerial images, roadway plans and photos collected by the Police Department, the Traffic Safety Committee determined that a no parking zone would help alleviate traffic issues along the roadway.

 

An exhibit depicting the locations of the proposed signs is attached.

Budget Impact:
No parking signs will be manufactured and installed by the Public Works Department. Each sign costs $275 to manufacture and install for a total of $2,200 for eight signs. The project will be funded through Public Works Street Division operating budget.
