RE: Modifying parking restrictions on Leeward Court W, Westfield Street and West 6th
Avenue
BACKGROUND
This ordinance modifies parking restrictions on Leeward Court W., Westfield Street and West 61h
Avenue. It changes the parking Leeward Court W. from unrestricted to no parking, both sides, from
Bowen Street to its northern terminus. This request comes from the Swanson Wiper Company. The
ordinance minimizes the no parking zone on the east side of Westfield Street from 556' to 723' to 612' to
672' south of Oshkosh Avenue. This request comes from Evergreen Retirement Community. The
ordinance also changes the loading zone on West 61h Avenue, north side, from Nebraska Street to 30'
east, to 2 -hour parking. This is a request from the developers of the former Granary Restaurant. The
Traffic Review Advisory Board recommends approval of all these requests. (6-0)
ANALYSIS
The no parking on both sides of Leeward Court W. will allow trucks access to the loading docks at
Swanson Wiper Company. Evergreen Retirement Community will have a few more on street parking
spaces in front of their building while maintaining safety with clear lines of sight around their
driveway (no parking 20' each side rather than the standard 4'). The loading zone on West 611, Avenue,
from Nebraska Street to 30 ' east, is no longer needed. The developer requested this area be converted
to 2 -hour parking which is consistent with parking regulations on the north side here.
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-11 of the Municipal Code pertains to parking regulations on designated streets and alleys.
I recommend that the Common Council approve this ordinance.
Respectfully Submitted,
Jim Collins
Transportation Director
