Title
Discussion of issues relating to an ordinance establishing a “No Parking Zone” along portions of Academy Street.
Body
Summary:
Earlier this year, Mr. Terry Miles who resides at 717 Academy addressed Council regarding parking issues along his street. Academy makes a 90 degree turn in the 700 block, and making for a dangerous traffic situation when cars are parked on the street. Over the past few months, this matter has been assessed by the Police Department and Public Works Department. They recommend the City prohibit on-street parking between 706 Academy and 718 Academy on the eastern and southern portion of the street. Only Mr. Miles’ house would be directly impacted with these new parking restrictions, and he is supportive of this change. Attached please find a copy of an ordinance prepared by City Attorney Jim Fox which authorizes this new “No Parking” area. Also attached is a photo displaying the portion of Academy to be impacted with this change.
Fiscal/Budgetary Impact:
Minimal costs associated with creating new No Parking signs
