ITEM # 12
DATE: 02-1 8 A
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: PHOENIX STREET PARKING ORDINANCE
BACKGROUND:
Staff received a safety concern from a citizen that on-street parking at the westbound
approach of the Phoenix Street and North Dakota Avenue intersection was creating a
sight distance problem and causing the potential for collisions from cars turning off of
North Dakota onto Phoenix.
Staff performed an analysis of the sight distance and turning movements at the
intersection, determining that the presence of on-street parking on both sides of
Phoenix Street between North Dakota Avenue and Yuma Avenue does create a safety
issue. As a result of this finding, staff is recommending that an update to the parking
ordinance be made along Phoenix Street to include a restriction of parking at all times
on the north side from the intersection with North Dakota Avenue to Yuma Avenue.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Direct the City Attorney to draft an ordinance that adds a restriction to parking at all
times on the north side of Phoenix Street from North Dakota Avenue to Yuma
Avenue.
2. Do not make any ordinance changes at this time.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
By directing legal staff to make an ordinance update, it will be possible to improve the
safety of our traffic system in this area.
Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt
Alternative No. 1, as described above.
