<br />CONSIDER PARKING RESTRICTIONS ON <br />ST. FRANCIS BOULEVARD FRONTAGE ROAD <br />By Steven Jankowski, City Engineer <br /> <br />CASE # I <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />The Ci~y has been contacted by a property owner along the TH 47 frontage road between 149lh <br />Lane and its terminus north of 152"d A venue requesting that consideration be given to restrict <br />parking along one side due to its narrow width (approximately 20 feet), it would be very difficult <br />for emergency vehicles to access the area should vehicles be pl;lrked on both sides. The City <br />police department has not noticed past problems in this area and the fire department reports that <br />because of the close proximity of the service road to Hwy 47, fire vehicles could be parked on <br />H wy 47. Because of issues involving high speed traffic, this option is not favorable, but still an <br />option. <br /> <br />Notitication: <br /> <br />There are six property owners having frontage along this service rOl;ld and all have been invited <br />to this evening's meeting to discuss this issue. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Due to the narrow width of the road and the concern for public safety, restricting parking on one <br />side of the street appears prudent, however the neighbors. should be involved in making this <br />decision. <br /> <br />Action: <br /> <br />Based upon discussion <br /> <br />Reviewed By: <br />Director of Public Works/Principal City Engineer <br />Assistant City Engineer <br />Public Works Street Supervisor <br />Chief of Police <br /> <br />PW: 11118/08. <br /> <br />1 <br />
