As a result of this, 21 on street parking spaces are no longer available. Concerns have been raised by area business owners about the loss of on street parking in front of their businesses. As a result of these concerns, staff evaluated pre construction and post construction on street parking and developed 3 alternatives. One alternative was to leave the street as it is currently striped and advise motorists of off street parking options such as the 3 public parking lots in the area as well as parking on adjacent streets. The second alternative restored five parking stalls by decreasing some stall widths to 8 vs 10 feet which still allowed for proper turn lanes. The third alternative restored 13 parking stalls by decreasing stall widths and decreasing turn lane lengths to substandard. Staff held a public meeting with area business owners on Thursday August 30th to present the options and obtain feedback. Business owners remarked that customers need to see their destination and don't like to walk too far. There was discussion about the need to add more public parking to the area and add additional parking wayfinding signage. The consensus was whatever can be done to add/improve parking options would be desirable. The Traffic and Parking Review Advisory Board considered the options at their September meeting and voted to recommend leaving the road as striped. They were concerned about traffic safety and felt there was enough off street public parking available to compensate for the loss of on street stalls. The Common Council considered the alternatives at their September 25th meeting and directed staff to come up with a compromise that would add some on street parking back to Oregon Street. City Hall, 215 Church Avenue P.O. Box 1 130 Oshkosh, WI 54903-1130 http://www.ci.oshkosh.wi.us ANALYSIS Following the Oregon Street parking discussion at the September 25, 2018 Common Council meeting, Transportation Director Jim Collins and Assistant Director of Public Works Steve Gohde met with the business owners that were in attendance at the meeting. The consensus among the group was that restoring parking stalls within the 800 block of Oregon Street is their highest priority. The group agreed that adding four (4) stalls, two (2) on each side of the street in this block would be a significant improvement. While this does not restore the number of stalls that existed prior to construction, this was an acceptable compromise. The discussion during the Common Council meeting indicated that restoring additional stalls near these businesses was important. Based on the results of the discussion following the Common Council meeting, staff is recommending a hybrid of the options presented to Council. The recommendation is to implement option 2 between 8th Avenue and 9th Avenue and leave the remainder of the street as designed. The result is restoring a total of four (4) stalls, two on each side, in the area where the most significant loss occurred. Four (4) stalls would reduce the loss of stalls in this block to two (2) stalls. The downside of adding the 4 parking stalls will be substandard turn lanes and reduced space for vehicle maneuvering between 8th and 9th Avenue. These ordinances reflect the compromise between 81h and 91h Avenue and the striping and parking as designed for the rest of Oregon Street. FISCAL IMPACT The fiscal impact of these ordinances is the cost of signage which was budgeted. The signage cost would come out of the Sign Department operational budget. There is also a cost to remove the current striping and restripe the road between 8th and 9th Avenue. The cost of paint removal and re -striping will come out of the project 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 these ordinances. Respectfully Submitted, Approved: Jim Collins, Transportation Director Mark A. Rohloff, City Manager
