COUNCIL ACTION FORM
Item #
Date: July 12 994
SUBJECT: Designating Parking Prohibitions in the Bentwood Subdivision First Addition
BACKGROUND:
During the review of Bentwood Subdivision First Addition, staff indicated to developers that
parking prohibitions should be designated along one side of subdivision streets. This measure
is needed to provide a safe street width for passage of local traffic and emergency vehicles.
Streets included in this subdivision are Wilder Boulevard, Schubert Street, Norris Street, and
Frost Drive.
Staff had determined that parking prohibitions are necessary since subdivision plans call for 27'
and 31' street widths. With these widths, parking prohibitions are needed to provide a two-way
traffic flow. With parking present on both sides of the street, the available street width for traffic
is reduced to 15', or one lane of travel. When this parking is present, it not only creates a
hazardous situation for traffic, but also restricts access by emergency vehicles.
The developers, Hunziker and Furman, requested that parking prohibitions be designated along
the north and east sides of Wilder Boulevard, Schubert Street, Norris Street, and Frost Drive. In
addition, parking prohibitions are proposed on both sides of Wilder Boulevard between Lincoln
Way and Schubert Street. This prohibition is needed to provide sufficient street width for the
additional traffic lanes on Wilder at the Lincoln Way intersection. Attached is a diagram
showing the location of these proposed parking prohibitions.
ALTERNATIVES:
1 . Designate parking restrictions in the Bentwood Subdivision First Addition as follows: along
the east side of Wilder Boulevard, and on the north and east sides of Frost Drive (from
Wilder to the cul-da-sac), Schubert (from the east end to the cul-da-sac), and Norris Street
(from the west end to the cul-da-sac). In addition, parking prohibitions would be
designated along both sides of Wilder Boulevard from Lincoln Way to Schubert Street.
2. Modify the proposed locations of the prohibitions
3. Do nothing
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is recommended by the City Manager that the City Council adopt alternative number 1 above,
thereby directing the City Attorney to draft an ordinance prohibiting parking in the Bentwood
Subdivision First Addition as follows: along the east sides of Wilder Boulevard, and on the north
and east sides of Frost Drive (from Wilder to the cul-da-sac), Schubert (from the east end to the
cul-da-sac), and Norris Street (from the west end to the cul-da-sac). In addition, parking
prohibitions would be designated along both sides of Wilder Boulevard from Lincoln Way to
Schubert Street.
