1. A request to add 4 additional permit stalls to 200 East Lot (This is a business request).
Four of the permit stalls in this lot were leased last year. This has reduced the number of
permit stalls available for businesses and their employees. The business has requested an
additional 8 permit stalls in this lot. I am recommending we add 4 now and monitor the
usage. I recommend we convert stalls 20-24 from free 2-hour to permit parking. Permit
parking is enforced from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday thru Friday.
2. A request to restrict parking on 15th Street from South Main Street to 50 feet west. This is
a request from the sanitation division. Employees of nearby businesses are parking at this
corner restricting the ability of sanitation trucks to maneuver. There is still ample parking
in the area.
I recommend approval.
3. A request to extend the no parking zone on the south side of 6th Avenue from South Main
Street another 50 feet west. (current condition – no parking, south side, from South Main
Street to 80 feet west) This is a request from the new streets division and the new hospital
being built on 6th. The west driveway for the hospital will be used for ingress and egress of
semis and their MRI trailers. If cars are parked across from this driveway, the tractor
trailers cannot make this maneuver. The affected houses have driveways and there is still
on-street parking just west of this no parking zone.
I recommend approval.
4. A request to remove more regulations near the demolished Merrill School.
- Delete – Bus loading zone, north side, from Kentucky Street to Central Street.
- Delete – no parking, south side, from 32 feet west of Kentucky Street to 50 feet west of
