Removal of No Parking Signs.docx EXECUTIVE SUMMARY City Council Meeting: February 5, 2019 AGENDA ITEM: Removal of No Parking Signs AGENDA SECTION: Consent PREPARED BY: Brian Erickson, PE, Director of Public Works/City Engineer Jessie Barikmo, Public Works Secretary AGENDA NO. 6.j. ATTACHMENTS: Resolution APPROVED BY: LJM RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve the removal of the No Parking signs from the Carrollton Neighborhood west of Chili Avenue BACKGROUND Staff received a request regarding the no parking signs in the Carrolton neighborhood (north of 145th Street and west of Chili Avenue) just to the southwest of the Rosemount High School. Currently, the signs state “No Parking School Days 7:00 am – 3:30 pm. Permit Parking Only”. However, there is no permit process established for the residents to follow, making the sign confusing. Additionally, the Traffic Safety Committee reviewed this request and recommends the removal of the 14 existing parking signs as they are no longer needed. The streets in the neighborhood are nominally 32’ in width and of sufficient width that would allow for parking on both sides of the street. Removal of the parking restrictions will have minimal impact on the current circulation of traffic through the neighborhood as all streets are local with neighborhood access only. Should Council approve the removal of these signs, staff will notify the residents and monitor the area for parking complaints. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that City Council approve the attached resolution approving the removal of the no parking signs in the Carrolton neighborhood.
