RE: Ordinance to Designate West 5th Avenue as a One -Way Street
BACKGROUND
This ordinance designates W. 5t" Avenue as a one -way street for westbound traffic from 220 feet
west of Nebraska Street to Nebraska Street. The developers of the former Granary Restaurant
site have made this request. The Traffic Review Advisory Board recommends approval (6 -0).
ANALYSIS
Currently W. 5th Avenue functions similar to an alley. The developers have proposed to mill and
overlay W. 5th Avenue, and install angled parking on both sides of the street, with a 14 -foot drive
lane. Staff does not foresee any traffic issues with this proposed plan, and believes this is a
beneficial and appropriate use of the site and right of way.
FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact of this ordinance is the cost of signage. The signage cost would come out of the
Sign Department operational budget.
RECOMMENDATION
Section 27A -9 of the Municipal Code designates one way streets. I recommend that the Common
Council approve this ordinance.
