COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: HOOVER AVENUE PARKING ORDINANCE
BACKGROUND:
During the public outreach for the pavement improvement project taking place on Hoover
Ave, several public comments were received regarding the parking regulations on Hoover
Avenue. In evaluating these comments, staff found that the main issue is that parking is
allowed on both sides of the roadway from 24th Street to 30th Street, where the pavement
width is only 31 feet. Current standards would allow parking on only one side for a road of
this width.
To address these issues, promote safety, and create consistent parking regulations along
the entire Hoover Avenue corridor, staff has prepared the following proposed parking
restrictions:
• Prohibit parking at all times on the east side of Hoover Avenue from 24th Street to 30th
Street
• Prohibit parking at all times on the east side of Hoover Avenue from Bloomington to
Adams Street.
A map indicating the areas affected is attached. These sections of Hoover Avenue
experience very low on-street parking with the majority of parking typically occurring on the
west side of the roadway.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approve on first reading an ordinance that prohibits parking at all times on the east
side of Hoover Avenue from 24th Street to 30th Street and from Bloomington Road to
Adams Street.
2. Make no changes in the parking regulation along Hoover Avenue at this time.
CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
The width of Hoover Avenue, except from 30th Street to Bloomington Road, does not meet
the current standards to allow parking on both sides of the street. After reviewing the
prevailing parking patterns, staff believes the proposed ordinance will improve safety and
traffic flow. Letters have been sent to the affected adjoining properties and no objections
have been received.
Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt
alternative No. 1, as described above.
