Public Works Committee 6. 2. <br />Meeting Date: 09/16/2014 <br />By: Grant Riemer, Engineering/Public <br />Works <br />Title: <br />Request for No Parking Zone on 150th Ln Across From Ramsey Elementary <br />Purpose/Background: <br />Staff was asked to research the need for restricting the parking on one side of the roadway at 150th Ln east of <br />Ramsey Elementary School. This section of road is popular with parents dropping off or picking up their children <br />from school. With parents parking on both sides of the road for approximately 15-20 minutes in the morning and <br />afternoon the road can get a bit narrow. 150th Ln measures 32 foot from curb to curb. Most passenger cars and light <br />trucks average 7 feet in width, with larger vehicles averaging 8 feet in width. <br />Timeframe: <br />5 minutes <br />Observations/Alternatives: <br />Staff observed parents dropping off students on the morning of Sept.5th and the afternoon of Sept. 9th. During the <br />morning time period between 8:30-9:00 am four cars parked on 150th lane mostly on the north side of the road. <br />During the afternoon, between 3:30-4:00, 14 cars used 150th Ln for student pickup and were spread evenly on both <br />sides of the road. There have been 3 reported accidents in this area, from 2006-present, with none of the accidents <br />involving on street parking on 150th Ln. Staff feels that the level of on street parking observed during peak times <br />does not require a restricted parking zone at this time. Staff is aware that Ramsey Elementary host several activities <br />throughout the year that may require some special parking restrictions, such as Grand Parent Day, Track and Field <br />Day, etc.... PW staff could coordinate with Ramsey PD and Ramsey Elementary to perhaps set up some temporary <br />"No Parking" zones as needed. <br />Funding Source: <br />Case was prepared as part of regular staff duties <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends not restricting on road parking on 150th Ln at this time <br />Action: <br />Based on staff and committee discussion. <br />Attachments <br />PM Parking <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Kurt Ulrich Kurt Ulrich 09/10/2014 02:03 PM <br />Form Started By: Grant Riemer Started On: 09/05/2014 08:27 AM <br />Final Approval Date: 09/10/2014 <br />
