COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: NEW PARKING REGULATIONS FOR NORTH 4T" STREET
BACKGROUND:
In response to a recent street paving project along North 4th Street, which was a
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funded project, North 4th Street was
taken from a gravel road to a paved asphalt surface with curb and gutter. The new road
is 26 feet wide. In order to facilitate two-way traffic and emergency vehicle access
along this newly paved street, parking should be restricted to one side of the street.
The adjacent land use for North 4th Street is residential along the south side, with the
Union Pacific Railroad right-of-way on the north side. Because of this, staff recommends
that parking be prohibited along the north side in order to provide parking next to the
residences. This will also allow unobstructed access to the fire hydrants within the
neighborhood.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Direct the City Attorney to draft an ordinance to prohibit parking along the north
side of North 4th Street from North Riverside Avenue to North Maple Avenue.
2. Do not initiate these parking restrictions.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Restriction of parking along this street is appropriate in order to provide unobstructed
emergency vehicle access to this residential area.
Therefore, 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 along the north side of North 4th Street from North Riverside Avenue to North
Maple Avenue.
