SUBJECT: Parking regulations on Arbor Street
BACKGROUND: The Ames/ISU Bicycle Committee has previously recommended that the
alternate side parking regulations along Arbor Street be changed
to be in effect from midnight to 9:00 p.m. . The current parking
regulations along Arbor Street provides for alternate side parking
between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. . This proposal has
previously been before the council with a proposed ordinance that
would result in an implementation of the Bicycle Committee 's
proposal . A group of residents along Arbor Street filed a petition
with the City Clerk requesting that alternate side parking be
established between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. . The
residents proposal was in conflict with the proposal of the Bicycle
Committee. On July loth the Bicycle Committee net and discussed
the differences between the two proposals. It was discovered
that the residents parking proposal would result in the same
affects that the Committee was interested in attaining. The
Bicycle Committee thus unanimously endorsed the proposal as con-
tained in the petition filed by the Arbor Street residents. The
City staff has reviewed both proposals and concurs with the
recommendations of the Bicycle Committee and the Arbor Street
residents. Attached is a proposed Ordinance which would result
in alternate side parking along Arbor Street between the hours
of 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
ALTERNATIVE: A. Pass on first reading the attached Ordinance.
B. Request a replacement Ordinance to cover a time period
deemed appropriate by Council .
MANAGERS RECOMMENDED ACTION: Pass the first reading of the proposed Ordinance.
