145th Street West -No Parking
There is immediate concern over vehicles parking along the shoulder, ditch, and
bike trail in the vicinity of the Shannon Townhouse apartments, which are in the
southeast corner of the intersection of Shannon Parkway and 145th Street.
Because of the high vehicular traffic volumes on 145th Street, Staff is
recommending to the Council that 145th Street be posted for "No Parking" on
either side of the street from Diamond Path to Chippendale Avenue. There are
already some "No Parking" signs in front of the Rosemount Green Apartments,
however those signs need to be replaced because some are faded and they are all
set too low. The minimum height for regulatory signs within an urban area is
seven W) feet.
Police Chief Staats and I reviewed the situation and both recommend the
installation of these "No Parking" signs along both sides of 145th Street.
Although we are not experiencing any problems on the north side of 145th Street,
with the exception of a semi-tractor/trailer, Police Chief Staats and I both feel
that they should be posted before development occurs. This way the "No 'Parking"
will be enforced prior to development and no one will have to get use to changing
habits which could happen if we waited until after development.
Recommended action for Council to consider would be to adopt the attached
resolution authorizing "No Parking" along either side of 145th Street from
Chippendale to Diamond Path.
