CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
December 1, 2003
5B
Bud Osmundson, Director of Public Works
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE REMOVAL OF NO
PARKING SIGNS ON HURON STREET.
This item is a request for the City Council to consider the removal of "No Parking" signs on both
sides of Huron Street. This action would allow parking on both sides of this single family
residential street. The City has received a request for this action from the neighborhood, due
to the fact that the High School has now been moved and there is no longer a significant
demand for parking spaces on a daily basis. Huron Street is a 32 foot wide, urban section
street typical in most of our residential areas, The 32 foot wide street in single family
residential areas is intended to accommodate normal residential parking on both sides of the
street. The removal of "No Parking" signs on Huron Street has been reviewed by the Police
Department, and they concur with our recommendation to allow parking.
Staff has sent a letter to all property owners abutting Huron Street stating that Staff is
recommending to the City Council that the "No Parking" signs should be removed and that
parking would then be allowed. We also informed the residents that this item would be on the
December 1 City Council agenda for discussion and action by the City Council. As of this
writing, there have been no objections to this proposed action from the neighborhood.
CONCLUSIONS:
Staff believes that it is appropriate for the City Council to authorize the removal of "No Parking"
signs on Huron Street.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The total cost to remove these signs is minimal.

AUTHORIZING THE REMOVAL OF NO PARKING SIGNS ON
HURON STREET
MOTION BY:
SECOND BY:
the City is concerned about the safety of its traveling public, both vehicular and pedestrian, and
in the mid-1 ~90's, the City prohibited parking on Huron Street due to the overwhelming number
of vehicles parked on Huron by users of the Prior Lake High School, and the resulting lack of on
street parking for Huron Street residents, and
the Prior Lake High School is now moved to another location and there is no longer a
significant daily demand for parking by school users on Huron Street, and
the City has received a request to again allow parking on Huron Street, and
The City Public Works - Engineering Division and the Police Department has investigated the
issue, and is satisfied that the safety of its traveling public is well served by again allowing
parking on Huron Street.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF PRIOR LAKE, the Removal of No Parking
signs is hereby ordered at the following locations:
a) On both sides of Huron Street between Woodside Road and Fish Point Road, except as required by
State Statutes.
Passed and adopted this 1st day of December 2003.
