COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: DUFF AVENUE PARKING ORDINANCE
BACKGROUND:
The contract for the 2019/20 Multi-Modal Roadway Improvements (30th Street & Duff
Avenue Restriping) project was awarded by City Council on May 12, 2020. Several
portions of Duff Avenue need to have parking restrictions to allow for the new lane
configurations. Below is a list of the proposed parking restrictions:
• Prohibit Parking at all times on the east & north side (northbound) of Duff Avenue
from 20th Street to Grand Avenue
• Prohibit Parking at all times on the west & south side (southbound) of Duff Avenue
from Douglas Avenue to 22nd Street and from 120' west of Briggs Circle
intersection to Grand Avenue
In addition to the bike lanes, the restriping project will install a painted parking lane
along the west & south side of Duff Avenue from 20th Street to 120' west of Briggs
Circle intersection, to match these proposed restrictions.
A public information meeting was held for the project. All adjacent properties were mailed
invitations to the meeting. In attendance were 7 of the 135 adjacent properties, along with
6 other residents. Of the thirteen who attended the public meeting, two comments were
made related to the parking ordinance. The first comment was the request to include five
feet of no parking next to driveways in the parking lane to increase vision of vehicles
leaving their driveway. Five feet of no parking adjacent to driveways will be included with
the restriping project. The second comment was that parking along Inis Grove Park is
convenient; however, staff concluded the existing parking lots to the north and east of the
park provide sufficient parking.
ALTERNATIVES:
1 . Direct the City Attorney to draft an ordinance that prohibits parking at all times on
the east & north side of Duff Avenue from 20th Street to Grand Avenue, and
prohibits parking at all times on the west & south side of Duff Avenue from Douglas
Avenue to 22nd Street and from 120' west of Briggs Circle intersection to Grand
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 implement multi-
modal improvements in this area. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager
that the City Council adopt alternative No. 1, as noted above.
