RE:
Items Defeated by the Traffic Review Board at their May 13, 2003
Meeting
REQUEST FOR 90 - MINUT E PARKING ON THE WES T S IDE OF MAIN STREET F ROM
72 FEET NORTH OF HIG H AVENUE TO 198 FEET NORTH OF HIGH AVENU E.
[CURRENT CONDITION: NO PARKING].
This item was the result of discussions held at the last Traffic Review Board meeting.
The plan to convert High Avenue and Waugoo Aven ue to two - way operation will
require the removal of six (6) parking spaces near the Main Street intersection. I
believe that a further removal of parking on the south side of Waugoo Avenue is
warranted, but I will wait and observe the situation following the conversion to two -
way operation before recommending additional parking removals.
The item before the Board will provide six (6) spaces in the 300 block of Main Street.
The new parking stalls will be short - term 90 - minute parking stalls. The creation o f
parking on the west side of Main Street is consistent with the LDR Plan for downtown
development. The implementation of parking on the west side of Main Street will
provide the Board with the opportunity to see the impact of less southbound traffic
capa city before physical changes are made to Main Street.
DEFEATED BY TRAFFIC REVIEW BOARD (3 - 3).
