TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council

DATE: October 18, 2019
RE: Update Parking Regulations in the Former Smith School Area, on Sterling
Avenue and on West 23rd Avenue (Traffic and Parking Advisory Board
recommends approval, waiver of 2nd reading requested)
BACKGROUND
With the closing of Smith School, there is no longer the need for loading zones around the
building, this ordinance eliminates those.
Sterling Avenue — The new owner of the former Lang Oil building requested the one hour
parking restriction in front of the building be eliminated as his office tenants need parking for
their clients who may need longer than one hour.
West 23rd Avenue - Oshkosh Corporation has requested parking be restricted on either side of
their garage exit on West 23rd Avenue. They have military vehicles with limited visibility
exiting their plant from this garage and vehicles are parking up to the driveway causing
visibility and safety concerns. They have requested the second reading be waived to remedy
this as soon as possible. We have put up temporary signs in the interim to address this
situation.
The Traffic and Parking Advisory Board recommends approval. (5-0)
ANALYSIS
There is no need to maintain loading zones around the former Smith School. Once the use of
the building is determined, parking regulations can be revisited if needed.
Sterling Avenue is wide enough (36 feet) to accommodate parked vehicles on both sides.
West 23rd Avenue—Almost all the vehicles parked in this area are employees of Oshkosh
Corporation and they are the requestor.

FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact of these ordinances is the cost of signage. The signage cost would come out
of the Sign Department operational budget.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that the Common Council approve these modifications to Section 27A-11 of the
Municipal Code pertaining to parking regulations on designated streets and alleys.
Respectfully Submitted, Approved:
