COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: PARKING REGULATIONS ON COCHRANE PARKWAY
BACKGROUND:
In response to filing the Final Plat for The Estates of Nature's Crossing Subdivision, parking
regulations are required for the addition of this new street. The City is currently building
narrower local streets in an effort to calm traffic. This requires parking restrictions on one
side of the street to provide emergency services adequate space to set up their equipment.
The north side of Cochrane Parkway provides hydrant access for emergency services.
Cochrane Parkway is a curvilinear street that bends slightly to the south; restricting parking
on the north side may provide safer travel for motorists by ensuring that vehicles are not
parked on the inside of that curve. Therefore, staff feels "no parking" restrictions should be
placed along the north side of Cochrane Parkway.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Direct the City Attorney to draft an ordinance to prohibit parking at all times on the north
side of Cochrane Parkway.
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 draft an ordinance to prohibit parking at all times on the
north side of Cochrane Parkway.
