TO:
SUBJECT: Additional Parking Meters
INTRODUCTION
The Engineering, Parking, and Transit Departments have been reviewing the
possible addition of parking meters in the downtown area.
DISCUSSION
The Transit Department has identified a portion of Main Street between 9th and
10th Streets and a portion of 9th Street east of Locust Street as areas previously
used for bus-loading that are no longer needed.
It has been determined that four metered stalls could be added to the west side
of Main Street immediately south of 10th Street and three metered stalls could be
added to the south side of 9th Street immediately east of Locust Street.
In addition, Engineering has determined that the existing left-turn lane pavement
markings on 1 ih Street are no longer necessary. Recent traffic counts indicate
low turning volumes from the left-turn lanes; and therefore, the markings could be
removed.
Parking on 1ih Street is currently prohibited in certain sections between Central
Avenue and Main Street to accommodate the turn lanes. It has been determined
that nine metered stalls could be added to 1 ih Street if the left-turn lanes were
removed and a centerline was painted in the middle of the street.
,
RECOMMENDATION
I would recommend that the City Council adopt the attached ordinances that
allow parking on certain portions of Main Street, Ninth Street, and 1 ih Street to
allow for the addition of parking meters.
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
The City Council is requested to adopt the attached ordinances.
