COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: REVISION OF PARKING REGULATIONS ON MARYLAND
STREET
BACKGROUND:
Maryland Street was recently extended westward from California Avenue. At this
time, there is a no parking ordinance for the south side of Maryland Street from
California Avenue to Nebraska Avenue. The width of California Avenue requires
parking be prohibited on one side of the street in accordance with City of Ames
practice.
It would be consistent with our normal practice to extend the no parking
ordinance on Maryland Street from California Avenue westward. These "No
Parking" signs would facilitate the maneuvering of snowplows, emergency
vehicles, and garbage trucks on this residential street. Therefore, staff
recommends extending the length of this no parking ordinance.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Direct the City Attorney to draft a no parking ordinance to extend the no
parking ordinance on Maryland Street from California Avenue westward.
2. Do nothing, which would allow parking on both sides of Maryland Street
west of California Avenue.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is recommended by the City Manager that the City Council direct the City
Attorney to draft a no parking ordinance to extend the no parking ordinance on
Maryland Street from California Avenue westward.
