Item # -�
Date: January 20, 1987
SUBJECT: Parking Ordinance - Duff Avenue
BACKGROUND:
The City Council submitted an application to the Iowa Department of
Transportation to widen and reconstruct Duff Avenue from Sixteenth Street
to Twentieth Street. This project would be pursued during the Summer of
1987 under partial (75%) funding using Federal Aid Urban System (FADS)
funds from the Federal Highway Administration. One stipulation contained
in the FAUS Project Agreement is that parking shall be prohibited from
within the project limits after construction has been completed.
This assurance means that Ames Section 18.21 (42) requires an amendment that
prohibits parking on both sides of Duff Avenue from the south corporate
limits to Twentieth Street. This ordinance would eliminate parking from
within the project limits. Currently parking along Duff Avenue between
Sixteenth Street and Twentieth Street is prohibited only from 6:00 a.m.
until 6:00 p.m. daily.
ALTERNATIVES:
1 . Direct the City Attorney to prepare a parking ordinance prohibiting
parking along Duff Avenue between Sixteenth Street and Twentieth
Street.
2. Direct staff to withdraw from the FAUS project.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is recommended by the City Manager that Council adopt alternative number
1 above, thereby directing the City Attorney to prepare a parking ordinance
prohibiting parking along Duff Avenue between Sixteenth Street and
Twentieth Street.
