COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: PARKING PROHIBITIONS ON SOUTH SIXTEENTH STREET
BACKGROUND:
Due to the traffic volume increases generated by the K-Mart and other developments
on Buckeye Avenue and South Sixteenth Street, staff believes that parking prohibitions
should be designated on the south side of South Sixteenth Street from South Kellogg
Avenue to 100 feet east of the Mulberry Boulevard intersection. Currently, parking is
prohibited on South Sixteenth Street along the north side from Elwood Drive to South
Duff Avenue, and on the south side from South Duff Avenue to South Kellogg Avenue.
This measure would extend the parking prohibitions along the south side of South
Sixteenth Street east of South Kellogg Avenue. By implementing this measure, safety
would be enhanced since it would eliminate potential conflicts caused by parked
vehicles. Also, it would improve capacity since it would provide a four-lane traffic flow
on the 670' street west of South Kellogg Avenue. Currently, the west 670' street
section is designed and marked for four lanes of traffic. Attached is a diagram
showing the proposed parking prohibitions on South Sixteenth Street.
By designating this proposed parking prohibition along this section of South Sixteenth
Street, parking would only be permitted on the south side of South Sixteenth Street
along a section adjacent to the Old Orchard Mobile Home Park. Staff believes that
parking can remain by the Old Orchard Mobile Home Park since the street is not
widened fully to four lanes on both sides of the Park, and no problems have been
caused by the presence of parking along this two lane facility.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Prohibit parking on the south side of South Sixteenth Street from South Kellogg
Avenue to 100' east of Mulberry Boulevard.
2. Modify the proposed parking prohibition by either extending or reducing it.
3. Do nothing.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It i;3 the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative
#1, thereby directing the City Attorney to draft an ordinance prohibiting parking on the
south side of South Sixteenth Street from South Kellogg Avenue to 100' east of
Mulberry Boulevard.
