FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: DECEMBER 7, 2021
SUBJECT: NO PARKING RESTRICTIONS ON EAST FRANKLIN STREET
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider approval of an ordinance amending the
Grapevine Code of Ordinances, Chapter 23 Traffic, Article V Parking,
prohibiting parking on the north side of East Franklin Street from South
Main Street to Jenkins Street.
FUNDING SOURCE: None
BACKGROUND: Staff has received a request to post no parking signs on the north side of
East Franklin Street from South Main Street to Jenkins Street as shown in
the attached exhibit.
The roadway is approximately 28 feet in width with outside dining along

Franklin at Main Street, two-way traffic can not be accommodated when
both sides of the street are occupied with parked vehicles.
