NO PARKING ZONES — COLLEGE 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 portions of College Street and Franklin Street, and take any necessary action.
BACKGROUND:
A No Parking zone from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. is proposed on the north side of College
Street, from Church Street east for a distance of 300 feet. The No Parking zone will not
impact any businesses or homes directly adjacent to the No Parking zone due to
adequate on-site parking. It will also ensure that patrons of businesses on Main Street
do not park in front of homes and businesses where the No Parking zone is proposed.
A No Parking zone is also proposed on the south side of Franklin Street between Main
Street and Church Street. Currently, parking is prohibited on the north side of Franklin
Street from Main Street to a point 25 feet west of Barton Street. Parking is allowed on
the remaining portion of the north side of Franklin Street extending to Church Street
adjacent to the church parking lot. The parking restrictions on the south side will provide
sufficient pavement width for two lanes of traffic (one lane in each direction) once the
construction is complete.
Staff recommends approval.
