, ~ . CITY OF 1IRDEN HILLS MEMEANOOM Dl\TE: August 19, 1993 TO: Dorothy Person FR(J(: Dan winkel, Public Works SUperintendent $i, LJ , stlBJEC'I': TWO HOUR PARKIN:; NEl\R MOUNDS VIEW HIGH SCHOOL I have reviewed the parking situation in the Sherwood Hills neighborhood located near Mounds view High School. Mounds view High School does not have enough on-site parking for all faculty and students. 'Ibe current on-site parking is by permit only. I was told by the high school office staff that the permits will cost $40.00 per semester and are available to seniors first, then to juniors and sophomores. Apparently there are more and more students who desire to drive to school rather than ride on the !::us. 'Ihe overflow parking tends to migrate to the Shorewood Hills and . Valentine Hills neighborhoods. 'Ibis can cause a hardship for some of the residents who would not have access to on-street parking in front of their homes. The parking situation and the unwanted pedestrian traffic in private yards are the reasons for concern by the residents. I have enclosed a map with the streets marked in blue that are currently posted "1Wo Hour Parking Between 8;00 am and 4;00 pm, Monday thru Friday". Once a street has been posted, the tendency is for the students to siITg:lly move to another street not yet posted. My recommendation would be to monitor the parking when school starts this fall. When the overflow parking starts to move to the streets not currently marked, then I believe we should post all of the areas marked in yellow on the map. nus should be done no later than the first of October (if Council con=s with the need) . If the on-street parking continues to be a problem after the "second phase" is marked, then it would be recommended to post the "phase three" areas marked in green. 'Ibis last phase would virtually eliminate on-street parking for more than two hours for this entire area near the high school. . - - ~ -"- . --- ~
