RE: Approve Loading zone on South Park Avenue, and parking regulation updates
on Court Street, North Main Street, Otter Avenue and Washington Avenue
BACKGROUND
The Milwaukee Herd organization along with the Menomonie Nation Arena supported by the
Oshkosh Police Department (OPD) requested a loading zone for transportation network
companies such as Uber and Lyft. The north side of South Park Avenue east of Main Street
was identified as the best location for this.
North Main Street was reconstructed a few years ago. The parking areas are signed
appropriately however the parking ordinances on the west side of the street from Algoma to
north of Parkway were not completely updated. Court Street, Otter Avenue and Washington
Avenue were reconstructed this past year. The on street parking on these streets is signed to
match the new layout of the streets. These ordinances update the municipal code to match the
new layout and signage.
The Traffic and Parking Advisory Board recommends approval of all items. (6-0)
ANALYSIS
OPD blocks off South Park Avenue east of Main Street during events and only allows access to
handicap parking. If approved, they will also allow access to TNC vehicles to load and
unload. We tested this over the last month during Herd games and all went well.
The newly constructed streets are properly signed and have been functioning well. The
parking changes on these streets are relatively minor. We have not received any negative
feedback regarding parking on these streets.

FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact of these ordinances is the cost of signage. The signage cost would come out
of the Sign Department operational budget.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that the Common Council approve these modifications to Section 27A-11 of the
Municipal Code pertaining to parking regulations on designated streets and alleys.
Respectfully Submitted, Approved:
Jim Collins, Transportation Director Mark A. Rohloff, City Manager
