SUBJECT:title

A Parking Study for Bunker Hill Circle at N Gregory Street.  Ward 10, Alderman Johnson. 

body

PURPOSE:

A Parking Study for Bunker Hill Circle at N Gregory Street to determine the need for parking restrictions at the two intersections. 

 

BACKGROUND:

A Resident submitted ACR Case ID 145614 expressing concern of difficulty pulling out of Bunker Hill Circle at N Gregory Street because of vehicles parked on N Gregory Street.  

 

DISCUSSION:

N Gregory Street is classified as a Minor Collector, and Bunker Hill Circle is a private neighborhood roadway.  N Gregory Street is a wide 36-ft, able to sustain two-way traffic and parking on both sides.  N. Gregory Street does not mark off no-parking-here-to-corner with either signage or Yellow Curb.  Bunker Hill Circle does have no-parking-here-to-corner signage, but no Yellow Curb.

 

Adding No Parking Here to Corner signage at N Gregory Street at both intersections may assist with visibility at Bunker Hill Circle. 

 

IMPACT STATEMENT:

Operations would be responsible for installation of signage and curb markings.

 

RECOMMENDATIONS:

 Staff recommends installing No Parking Here to Corner signage at N Gregory Street at both intersections.
