MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: JANUARY 6, 2009
SUBJECT: PARKING RESTRICTIONS ON AUTUMN DRIVE
RECOMMENDATION:
City Council consider adopting an ordinance amending Chapter 23, Traffic, Section 23-
63 of the Code of Ordinances to prohibit parking on Autumn Drive from Dove Road to
190 feet west of Dove Road on both sides of the street and take any action.
BACKGROUND:
Staff studied the parking situation along Autumn Drive near Dove Road in response to a
citizen concern regarding safety. Vehicles are parking on both sides of Autumn Drive
near the intersection and visibility coming out of the nursing home driveway and the
Dove Creek Villas apartment complex driveway is restricted due to these parked
vehicles. In addition, motorists turning left from Dove Road on to Autumn Drive have a
restricted road width with the on street parking.
Installing a No Parking zone in this section will improve visibility and safety. The parking
restriction will be from the intersection to the first driveway on Autumn Drive on each
side of the street (about 190 feet on each side). There is still plenty of on-street parking
available for the patrons of the apartment complex and the nursing home west of the
driveways.
Staff discussed this proposal with the management of both the apartment complex and
the rest home and they have no objections to the proposed parking restriction.
Installing a No Parking zone in this section will enhance traffic safety with very little
impact on on-street parking.
Staff recommends approval.
