The City recently received a copy of your letter forwarded by the Centennial Police Department in regards to a recent parking ticket that you reCeived in the City of Centervi11e. We do appreciate your suggestions of adding additional signage of the current parking restrictions/regulations within our City; however, it would be extremely costly for the City to place them within feet from each other on every street within the City. The City of Centervi11e is approximately 2.5 square miles with 84,480 feet of roadway. The City Council has taken the approach that placing these signs at the entrances into the community is sufficient. The current sigJ1age is made out of a reflective type of material similar to all other highway signage and is approximately 18" X 24". The City Council has also taken the approach that these restrictions/regulations are posted and published in several areas, such as the City's web site, previous newsletters and on the City's cable channel. The City is very generous in providing residents with parking permits for temporary parking on roadways within the community if residents provide information such as licensed owner, license plate information, year, make and model of the vehicle and stop by City Hall to obtain same. The intent of Ordinance #16 (copy enclosed for your reference) Section 4, Parking Regulations - #6 is to limit the amount of vehicles that 1'eJ118in. on the street for extended periods of time and allowing emergency vehicles ample room to maneuver their vehicles as deemed appropriate at that interval of time also. It is unfortunate that -you received a ticket during your visit within the City and we sincerely hope that your next visit is much more pleasant. If you desire to temporarily park on the street within Centervi11e again, please contact us at 651-429-3232 with the above stated information and we will issue you a temporary parking permit. City Hall hours are 8:00 - 4:00 p.m Monday through Friday.
