RE: Ordinance making minor revision to parking along Ash Avenue
DATE: December 14, 2012
On September 25, 2012, Ordinance No. 4124 was passed which amended the parking regulations
along Ash Avenue. The amendment was necessary because of the new bike lane that was
installed on the street. This amendment incorrectly restricted parking at all times alongCountry
Club Boulevard to Mortensen Parkway.
The attached ordinance amendment corrects this error. The parking restriction should only be
imposed on the west side of the street and along a shorter distance than what is currently in the
code. I am therefore asking you to approve the attached ordinance making this minor correction.
Thank you.
ORDINANCE NO.
