COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: EXTENSION OF PARKING PROHIBITION FOR DICKINSON AVENUE
BACKGROUND:
During design of Dauntless Subdivision, located just west of South Dakota Avenue and
north of US #30, the street widths were set at 31' wide. With this street width and the
commercial land uses expected in the development, prohibition of parking on both sides
of all streets is appropriate. These parking prohibitions will allow safe movement of
trucks and autos using the development streets. This parking prohibition plan does
conform to the subdivision regulations.
Currently, parking is prohibited on both sides of Dickinson Avenue from Steinbeck
Street to Mortensen Road. This proposal would extend that prohibition from Mortensen
Road south to the end of the street.
ALTERNATIVES:
1 . Direct the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance to prohibit parking on both sides
of Dickinson Avenue from Mortensen Road south to the end of the street.
2. Direct the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance to prohibit parking on one side of
Dickinson Avenue from Mortensen Road south to the end of the street. This measure
will compromise vehicle access through the development, as well as to area
businesses.
3. Reject the concept of parking prohibitions and allow parking on both sides of
Dickinson Avenue. This proposal would leave only 12' for two-way vehicle passage if
both sides had parked vehicles.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt alternative
number one thereby directing the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance to prohibit
parking on both sides of Dickinson Avenue from Mortensen Road south to the end of
the street.
