HomeMy WebLinkAboutItem 06 - No Parking Zone - Dove Loop RoadMEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ROGER NELSON, CITY MANAGEI A/
MEETING DATE: SEPTEMBER 19, 2000
SUBJECT: NO PARKING ZONE- DOVE LOOP ROAD
RECOMMENDATION:
City Council consider adopting an Ordinance amending Section 23-63, No Parking
Zones, Restricted Parking Zones of the City Code of Ordinances to establish a No
Parking Zone on the north and south sides of Dove Loop Road between Dove Road and
Ruth Wall Street, and take any necessary action.
BACKGROUND:
Dove Loop Road is designated as a Class C Minor Arterial street in the City's
Thoroughfare Plan. Class C arterials have four through lanes and a turn lane/ median
separating the two directions of traffic. On -street parking is not allowed on arterials.
The portion of Dove Loop Road between Main Street and Boyd Street is already
constructed. It has a center median and is striped for two lanes in each direction
between Main Street and Dooley Street. The section between Dooley Street and Boyd
Street has a center median and is wide enough for two lanes in each direction although
it is not striped as such. The construction of the section between Boyd Street and Ruth
Wall Street is near completion and will have a center median and will be striped for two
lanes in each direction. Designating the No Parking Zone will allow traffic to safely travel
on all four lanes. The portion of Dove Loop Road between Dove Road and Main Street
is anticipated to be designed and constructed in the next three years.
The proposed No Parking Zone is in accordance with the planned design of Dove Loop
Road. The proposed No Parking Zone will have no negative impact on the properties
located adjacent to Dove Loop Road since none of the properties directly front the
street.
Staff recommends approval.
