BUD OSMUNDSON, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
FRANK BOYLES, CITY MANAGER
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE
INSTALLATION OF "NO PARKING DURING SCHOOL HOURS"
SIGNS ON PLEASANT STREET.
This item is a request for the City Council to consider approving the
installation of "No Parking During School Hours" s,igns on the north side of
Pleasant Street SE from Duluth Avenue to a point 470 west of Duluth. This
would coincide with the change in the shuttle bus loading I unloading
operations which have moved from Duluth Avenue to Pleasant with the
construction of the new school building at St. Michaels Church and school.
We received the attached letter from Mr. Rollie Brouillard, the Business
Administrator from the Church of St. Michael, requesting the change due to
the Education Center addition being complete. Staff believes that moving
the shuttle bus loading I unloading operation from Duluth to this location on
Pleasant is in the best interest of the church, school, and the city from a
safety perspective. This moves the congestion and child safety issues from
a very busy Duluth A venue to the less busy Pleasant Street. (As a side note,
the regular size school buses pull into the new parking lot for loading and
unloading which was part of the plan for the new addition.)
Staff also recommends leaving the "No Parking During School Hours" in
place on the west side of Duluth between Colorado and Pleasant due to the
new driveway on this street segment. We feel that parking adjacent to the
driveway will limit sight lines for vehicles exiting this driveway. I have
spoken with Mr. Brouillard who concurs with this recommendation.
The restrictions are limited to school hours on school days. I have talked to
the one homeowner on the south side of Pleasant across the street from the
proposed signage and they have no problem with it.

CONCLUSIONS:
Staff believes that it is appropriate for the City Council to authorize the
installation of "No Parking During School Hours" signs as described above
and on the attached drawing as part of the Consent agenda. Mr. Brouillard
has confirmed that he will not be present at the meeting. After City Council
approval, staff would purchase and install these signs as soon as they are
available.
FINANCIAL IMP ACT:
The total cost of these signs is very minor and would be funded by the
Street Operating Budget.
ALTERNATIVES:
The alternatives are as follows:
1. Approve a resolution authorizing the installation of "No Parking During
School Hours" signs on Pleasant Street as described in this report.
2. Deny this entire item or segments of it for a specific reason and provide
staff with direction.
3. Table this item until some date in the future.
RECOMMENDED
MOTION:
Alternative No.1.

Dear Sue:
With our new Education Center addition now in place and operating, we
request that we be allowed to IE:.<?~e the present "No Parking During School
Hours" signs from their present location along Duluth and Pleasant near the
Church Office building to the north side of Pleasant Street between the two
driveways adjacent to the Education Center addition. Moving the signs to
this location would provide parking for the shuttle buses from the other
private sphools and Childworks.
Thank you to you and the City Council for considering our request.
