RE: Designate No Parking on MacArthur Street and 3rd Avenue (Traffic and Parking
Advisory Board recommends approval)
BACKGROUND
MacArthur Avenue is only 18 feet wide. Residents are having a hard time traveling to and from their
homes with vehicles parking on the road. The vehicles appear to be parked to access the channel for
fishing.
The Streets Division reported plows and large trucks are having difficulty entering and exiting the new
Department of Public Works garage with vehicles parked on 3rd Avenue.
The Traffic and Parking Advisory Board recommends approval. (5-0)
ANALYSIS
The vast majority of vehicles traveling on MacArthur Avenue are residents of the neighborhood. Based
on the city's warrants,no parking on at least one side is warranted. The traffic and parking review
board recommends no parking from County Highway A to Cozy Lane on the south side.
There is sufficient off street parking on 3rd Avenue available. The risk of parked vehicles being hit with
large vehicles coming and going throughout the day is greater than the benefit of the on street parking.
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:
