Home My WebLink AboutItem 17 - Parking, Standing, and Stopping RestrictionsMEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL I FROM: ROGER NELSON, CITY MANAGER ;A� MEETING DATE: JULY 16, 2002 SUBJECT: PARKING, STANDING AND STOPPING RESTRICTIONS ON STONE MYERS PARKWAY AND WESTPORT PARKWAY RECOMMENDATION: City Council consider adopting an Ordinance amending Section 23-63, No Parking Zones, Restricted Parking Zones of the City Code of Ordinances to establish parking, standing and stopping restrictions on Stone Myers Parkway and Westport Parkway and take any necessary action. BACKGROUND: Stone Myers Parkway and Westport Parkway have four travel lanes with no additional pavement available for parking. Several citizens and Planning and Zoning Commission members have expressed concerns over large trucks parking, standing or stopping in the travel lanes and conducting loading and unloading operations. In addition to occupying a travel lane, the vehicles restrict visibility and increase the potential for accidents. Parking is already prohibited on both streets, and further restricting standing and stopping will enhance traffic safety. The restrictions are proposed for the entire street segments, for Stone Myers Parkway from State Highway 121 Service Road to Prospect Lane and for Westport Parkway from Stone Myers Parkway to Euless - Grapevine Road. Staff recommends approval. RC\rc O:\agenda\071602WgMemo.NoParkingStandingStoppingonStoneMyers&Westport.doc July 10, 2002 (1:38PM) ORDINANCE NO.
