NO PARKING ZONES — BARTON STREET AND FRANKLIN
STREET
City Council consider adopting an Ordinance amending Section 23-63, No Parking
Zones, Restricted Parking Zones, of the City Code of Ordinances to establish No
Parking zones on Barton Street and Franklin Street, and take any necessary action.
BACKGROUND:
The No Parking zones are being requested on a 25 foot section of Franklin Street (north
side only) and a 110 foot section of Barton Street (west side only) at the northwest
corner of the intersection of Barton Street and Franklin Street.
The No Parking zone on Franklin Street is needed in order to provide better corner
visibility for vehicles coming out of Barton Street. Vehicles typically park right up to the
intersection corner on the north side of Franklin Street. Currently, vehicles coming out of
Barton Street cannot see the eastbound vehicles on Franklin Street unless they pull out
so far into the intersection that they are in the path of westbound traffic. The proposed
No Parking zone will result in the loss of one on -street parking space.
The No Parking zone on Barton Street is needed to provide better visibility to motorists
entering and exiting the parking lot located on the northwest corner of the subject
intersection. Willhoite's Restaurant management requested the area be designated a
No Parking zone. The proposed No Parking zone will result in the loss of one parking
space.
Staff recommends approving the No Parking zones as they provide for improved traffic
safety without significant loss of parking.
