BACKGROUND: Enchanted Way, Fellowship Way and Genesis Way Enchanted Way, Fellowship Way and Genesis Way are newly constructed streets that are designed to carry four lanes of traffic and are striped as such (all except a small portion of Fellowship Way). There is no room for on -street parking as the entire pavement width is used for travel lanes. Installing the No Parking Zones will provide a clear indication to motorists that parking is prohibited. The parking restrictions are proposed for the entire street sections: on Enchanted Way from Bethel Road to Genesis Way, on Fellowship Way from SH 121 Northbound Service Road to Genesis Way, and on Genesis Way from SH 121 Northbound Service Road to Fellowship Way. Fellowship Church has requested no parking on these streets. Hood Lane Parking restrictions on Hood Lane are being proposed from the intersection of Hood Lane/ Dove Road north for a distance of 200 feet. The principal of Dove Elementary school requested the parking restrictions. There are two parking lots in the vicinity of the school that are heavily used for student pick-up and drop-off. The school parking lot on the west side of the school also serves as a pick-up and drop- off zone. The southern most driveway to this parking lot is about 100 feet from the intersection of Dove Road/ Hood Lane. The Dove Park parking lot is located on the west side of Hood Lane and its driveway is also in close proximity to the Dove Road/ Hood Lane intersection. Currently, visibility for the vehicles coming out of these two driveways and the vehicles traveling on Hood Lane is restricted due to the vehicles March 13, 2002 (10:23AM) parked along this section of Hood Lane. Visibility is also restricted for these vehicles and vehicles turning from Dove Road on to Hood Lane. The parking restrictions will improve visibility and enhance traffic safety for vehicles and pedestrians. Since parking is at a premium during school drop-off and pick-up times, the proposed parking restrictions are being kept to a minimum. Parr Road & Parr Lane Parr Road and Parr Lane are currently being reconstructed to provide a concrete roadway surface with curb and gutter. The streets are designed as a 27 foot wide two lane roadway with no room for on -street parking. The parking restrictions will provide a clear indication to motorists and residents that parking is not allowed. The No Parking Zones on these streets was part of the agreement between the neighborhoods and the City when the City agreed to reduce the pavement width to the narrow 27 foot wide section. The parking restrictions are proposed for the entire street sections: on Parr Road from Hall Johnson Road to Parr Lane and on Parr Lane from Parr Park to Regent Drive. Staff recommends approval.
