MEMORANDUM
TO: Mark A. Rohloff, City Manager
FROM: Christopher Strong, Transportation Director
DATE: April 22, 2009
RE: Explanation of Traffic Regulations Ordinance Changes
SECTION 2: SECTION 27 -23 (A -11) — PARKING REGULATIONS
A REQUEST FOR UNRESTRICTED PARKING ON BOTH SIDES MEADOW STREET FROM
308 FEET NORTH OF WITZEL AVENUE TO 480 FEET SOUTH OF SOUTHLAND AVENUE.
(CURRENT CONDITION: 2 -HOUR PARKING BETWEEN 7 AM AND 4 PM ON SCHOOL
DAYS.)
This is a citizen request.
The two -hour parking zone on this street is intended to discourage all -day parking by students
and employees of Oshkosh West High School. While this has been effective, the citizen making
this request would like to see the length of the two -hour parking zone shortened so that residents
would be able to use the street for parking during the day.
A similar request was considered by the Traffic Review Advisory Board in June 2002, when it was
proposed that the 2 -hour parking area would end 360 feet south of Southland Avenue. The
request was rejected unanimously by the Board, primarily due to concerns from residents that the
area in front of their houses would be used as all -day parking by students and teachers. This
request differs from the 2002 proposal by keeping the 2 -hour parking restriction for the street in
front of four more properties on each side of the road.
I believe it is good to allow on- street parking on local streets when there are no compelling reasons to
restrict it. However, the residents of Meadow Street will be most directly affected by this change.
