HomeMy WebLinkAbout4B - No Parking signs MEETING DATE: AGENDA #: PREP ARED BY: REVIEWED BY: AGENDA ITEM: DISCUSSION: CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT October 1, 2001 45 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.

(952) 440-9675 / Fax (952) 440-9678 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER 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.

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.
