COUNCIL ACTION FORM WA
Item # .3
Date: September 2 1993
SUBJECT: Ordinance for designating Parking Prohibitions along
Meadowlane Avenue by Carr Pool
BACKGROUND:
A request was received from Ken Kopecky, 1320 Meadowlane Avenue, to
prohibit parking along the east side of Meadowlane Avenue from the Carr
Drive intersection north approximately 135 feet to Carr Pool's north prop-
erty line. This was requested in order to improve the visibility for chil-
dren crossing the street from Carr Pool. Currently, parking prohibitions
are designated from the Carr Drive parking entrance north approximately
200 feet to the north side of the Carr Drive intersection. Attached is a
diagram showing the proposed parking restriction.
Staff believes that this measure will both improve safety for pedestrians
and motorists. Currently, parking is allowed on both sides of this north
approach along Meadowlane Avenue. Parking along this section is seldom
utilized except for hot periods when the pool is heavily used. Also during
this period, there are more children that cross Meadowlane Avenue to
access the pool.
This measure has been discussed with Nancy Carroll, the Parks and
Recreation Director, and she has no problems with prohibiting parking
along this side of Meadowlane Avenue. Also, residents in the area have
been contacted concerning this measure. Responses indicated that there
was wide support for the measure.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Prohibit parking on the east side of Meadowlane Avenue, 200 feet
north of the Carr Drive intersection.
2. Do nothing.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is recommended by the City Manager that the City Council adopt alter-
native number 1, thereby directing the City Attorney to draft an
ordinance prohibiting parking on the east side of Meadowlane Avenue, 200
feet north of the Carr Drive intersection.
