. CITY OF ARDEN HILLS MEH1'lANDOM IllITE : August 19, 1993 70: Dorothy Person FRCH: Dan Winkel, Public WOrks SUperintendent .h. W , SUBJECT: NO lIOlJR P1\RKING NEAR !IXlNllS VIEW HIGH sarooL I have reviewed the parking situation in the Sherwood Hills neighborhood locate:i near Mounds View High School. Mounds view High School does not have enough on-site parking for all faculty and students. '!'he =ent on-site parking is by pennit only. I was told by the high school office staff that the pennits will cost $40.00 per semester and are available to seniors first, then to juniors and sophOlllOres. Apparently there are llIOre and more students who desire to drive to school rather than ride on the b.ls. . '!'he overflow parking tends to migrate to the Sharewood Hills and Valentine Hills neighborhoods. 'Ihis 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 =ently posted "'IWo 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 silllply llIOve to another street not yet poste:i. My recarmnendation would be to monitor the parking when school starts this fall. When the overflow parking starts to llIOve to the streets not =ently marked, then I believe we should post all of the areas marked in yellow on the map. 'Ihis should be done no later than the first of October (if Council concurs with the need) . If the on-street parking continues to be a problem after the "second phase" is marked, then it would be recammended to post the "phase three" areas marked in green. 'Ihis last phase would virtually eliminate on-street parking for llIOre than two hours for this entire area near the high school. . - - - -"- .
