INFORMATIONAL ITEM—3A <br /> ,-iIZEN HILLS <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> DATE: June 20, 2023 <br /> TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers <br /> Dave Perrault, City Administrator <br /> FROM: David Swearingen, P.E. Public Works Director/ City Engineer <br /> SUBJECT: State Fair Parking Discussion <br /> Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source: <br /> $N/A $N/A N/A <br /> Council Should Consider <br /> Council should consider modifications to the 2023 State Fair Parking Restrictions Plan <br /> Background <br /> Around the City of Arden Hills there are multiple locations for park and rides to the State Fair. <br /> People utilize City streets to park their vehicles for the day which is acceptable in some locations <br /> but has posed an issue in others. To mitigate these issues Public Works staff has posted the state <br /> fair parking restrictions along routes shown in Attachment A. In preparation for the 2023 State <br /> Fair, a discussion is needed to decide if there are any changes needed to the current plan. <br /> Here are a couple notes from previous years: <br /> • In 2019 and 2022 the Sheriff reported multiple citations (50+) on New Brighton Rd for <br /> State Fair parking. This road is already a no parking zone and shoulders are not wide <br /> enough but people have been parking into the boulevard. To mitigate this issue, no <br /> parking signs will be installed. <br /> • In 2019 there was a complaint of vehicles parked in the right-hand turn lane on Pine Tree <br /> Dr near the Wells Fargo building. Public Works staff addressed the issue by posting no <br /> parking signs which seemed to resolve it. <br /> Discussion <br /> What modifications, if any, should be made to the State Fair Parking Restrictions Plan? <br /> Attachment <br /> Attachment A—Preliminary 2023 State Fair Parking Restrictions Maps <br /> Page 1 of 1 <br />
