Dear Property Owner, Business Owners, and Residents:
Re: Proposed Alternate-Side Parking Prohibitions
The City Traffic Division staff will be proposing that several streets be designated with alternate
side parking restrictions in an area surrounding the hospital in order to improve street
maintenance and snow removal activities. Currently, these streets have parking restrictions
designated on one-side only. Listed below are the streets that are being considered for an
alternate-side parking restriction.
1 th Street - Duff to Carroll Avenue
12th Street - Duff to Carroll Avenue
10th Street - Duff to Burnett Avenue
Staff will be proposing to change the parking regulations along these streets since the Street
Division crews experience difficulty maintaining and clearing snow due to the heavy utilization
of on-street parking. Problems are also experienced on these streets since vehicles are
allowed to remain parked for up to a 72-hour period without being relocated. These conditions
prevent snow from being adequately cleared along the parking lanes and curb sides, which
contributes to hazardous conditions for motorists and pedestrians. With an alternate side
parking restriction between 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., vehicles will be parked alternately along
these curb sides, allowing the street crews to adequately remove snow during succeeding days.
In order to evaluate this measure, staff would like to receive input from property owners along
11th Street, 12th Street, and 10th Street concerning this issue. Please contact me at 239-5275
if you have a concern or need additional information about this measure. Staff is anticipating
that this measure will be presented to the City Council during their January 25, 1994 meeting.
Sincerely,
Scott Logan, P.E.
