body
PURPOSE:
A Parking Study for the alley entrance beside 728 Fourth Street to determine the need for parking regulation signage.
BACKGROUND:
A Resident submitted PS # 2623759 expressing concern that vehicles are parking too close to the alley entrance way.
DISCUSSION:
S. Fourth Street is classified as a Minor Collector, but with a speed limit of 25 mph. There is a dashed yellow centerline, and parking is prohibited on the west side of the roadway. The width is 29.5-ft. Both sides have curb and gutter, as well as sidewalks. The paved alley is 12-ft in width.
No Parking Here To Corner signage for the alley entrance would remind vehicles that this entrance is for an alley, not a drive approach.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
Operations would be responsible for installing the signage.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends installation of No Parking Here To Corner signage to mark the ally entrance on both sides.
