SUBJECT:title

A Parking Study for Flagg Street in the 600 block.  Ward 2, Alderman Garza. 

body

PURPOSE:

To consider optimizing parking on Flagg Street in the 600 block. 

 

BACKGROUND:

A Resident submitted ACR Case ID 113137 complaining that parked vehicles are blocking the driveway of 144 Union Street (which is a corner Lot with the driveway on Flagg Street), and this makes it difficult for the Resident at 621 Flagg Street to use their driveway.  

 

DISCUSSION:

Flagg is a Residential Street.  This portion of Flagg Street is the standard 29.5-ft width.  A visit to the driveway did not reveal any vehicles blocking it.  Nevertheless, Yellow Curb on either side of the driveway may be in order; for both addresses. 

 

IMPACT STATEMENT:

Operations will be responsible for installing Yellow Curb. 

 

RECOMMENDATIONS:

 Staff recommends Yellow Curb for both driveways.
