COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: PARKING REGULATION CHANGES ON WELCH AVENUE BETWEEN
STORM STREET AND LITTLE STREET
BACKGROUND:
The parking meters along Welch Avenue between Storm Street and Little Street were
approved for removal as part of the 2005/06 CyRide Route Reconstruction Plans and
Specifications. This change was officially designated by City Council on June 28, 2005 with
the approval of the updated parking meter map. Parking regulations need to be addressed in
the absence of these meters.
Currently the only parking regulation on the west side of Welch Avenue between Little Street
and Knapp Street is "No Parking" between 3:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. The east side of Welch
between Little Street and Knapp Street is currently "No Parking" all hours, all days.
To accommodate the change in parking meters, Staff recommends amending the current
ordinance to create four-hour parking restrictions from 6:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m. all days, and to
continue to have "No Parking" between the hours of 3:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. These
regulations are consistent with other similar streets in the campus area. Staff has worked
with area residents and business owners in arriving at this plan. Please reference the
attached map.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Direct the City Attorney to develop an ordinance to restrict parking to a four-hour limit
from 6:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m. and to restrict all parking from 3:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m.
2. Reject this ordinance.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative No. 1,
thereby directing the City Attorney to develop an ordinance to restrict parking to a four-hour
limit from 6:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m. and to restrict all parking from 3:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m.
