Due to the narrow width of the street, access can be <br />limited when vehicles are parked on both sides of the street. The Public Works Department has <br />identified this as a concern for emergency vehicle access and snow removal. <br /> <br />At the December 21st Work Session, staff recommended that the City post “no parking” signs at <br />the north end of Sandeen Road along both sides of the street extending south approximately 160 <br />feet from the intersection with Lake Johanna Boulevard (Attachment B). There are safety <br />concerns when vehicles are parked along this curved portion of the street because sight lines for <br />drivers are reduced. The City Council directed staff to discuss the proposed parking restrictions <br />with the Lake Johanna Fire Department and Ramsey County Sherriff’s Department. Staff has <br />reviewed the proposal with both departments and they have expressed support for the proposal. <br /> <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />A. Resolution 2016-005 <br />B.
