HomeMy WebLinkAboutA001 - Council Action Form dated July 12, 2005 i Y Item # �V Cfk Date: July 12 2005 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. COUNCIL ACTION: WELCH AVENUE PARKING RESTRICTIONS LITTLE STREET LEGEND EXISTING RESTRICTED PARKING PROPOSED RESTRICTED PARKING W - Z = I W : Q = I U : IJ - W = STORM STREET
