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.
