COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: REVISION OF PARKING REGULATIONS ON DICKINSON AVENUE
BACKGROUND:
Staff was contacted by a citizen who expressed concern about parking demand
pressure on the street in her neighborhood. The citizen mentioned that parking was
prohibited on both sides of the street at the south end of Dickinson Avenue south of
apartments in the area. The citizen felt that if parking were allowed on one side of this
block that there would be less demand for parking in the neighborhood where there
were single-family houses.
Parking is currently restricted on both sides of the block of Dickinson Avenue between
Steinbeck Street and Mortensen Road. Staff believes these restrictions could be
removed on the west side of the street without compromising safety. The street is 31
feet wide. Allowing 9 feet for parking on the west side of the street still leaves two
eleven foot wide lanes for moving traffic. This would be consistent with the remainder of
the street where parking is allowed on the west side of the street.
The city contacted property owners on this block to get their opinion regarding the
potential change. Jensen Property Management owns almost all of the property on this
block. Jensen Property Management sent staff a letter supporting the proposed
change.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Direct the City Attorney to develop an ordinance to remove the existing no
parking restrictions on the west side of Dickinson Avenue from Steinbeck Street to
Mortensen Road.
2. Do nothing and leave parking restrictions on both sides of Dickinson Avenue
between Steinbeck Street and Mortensen Road.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is recommended by the City Manager that the City Council direct the City Attorney to
develop an ordinance to remove the existing no parking restrictions on the west side of
Dickinson Avenue from Steinbeck Street to Mortensen Road.
