Item #
Date: December 17, 1991
SUBJECT: South Borne Avenue Parking Restrictions
BACKGROUND:
In October, 1991, South Borne Avenue was paved (without curb and
gutter) from Lincoln Way south 404' to the south end. This was done to
improve both dust control and the street surface. In order to reduce the
project costs and to stay within the city right-of-way, plans called for
narrowing the street width to 20 feet. This was done with the consent of
the adjacent property owners and with the provision that on-street parking
would be restricted on both the west and east sides to accommodate a
two-way traffic flow. This 20' street width is only sufficient for two lanes
of traffic according to both standards stated in the Municipal Code, and
also in AASHTO (American Association of State Highway Transportation
Officials) guidelines. To accommodate on-street parking on one side only,
this street width should be at least 27' wide according to these street
standards.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Restrict on-street parking on both sides of South Borne from Lincoln
Way south 404' to the south end.
2. Restrict on-street parking on one side of South Borne from Lincoln
Way south 404' to the south end.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is recommended by the City Manager that the City Council adopt alter-
native number 1 above, thereby directing the City Attorney to draft an
ordinance prohibiting parking on both sides of South Borne from Lincoln
Way south 404' to the south end.
