REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br /> Date: March 2, 2015 <br /> Item No.: 8.f <br />Department Approval City Manager Approval <br />Item Description: Victoria Street Parking Prohibition – from Larpenteur Ave and County Road B <br />B <br />ACKGROUND <br />1 <br />The City Council has approved reconstructing Victoria Street between Larpenteur Ave and County <br />2 <br />Road B, which is part of the City’s Municipal State Aid (MSA) system. <br />3 <br />State Aid standards do not allow parking on both sides of 2 lane roads narrower than 38 feet. Victoria <br />4 <br />Street will be reconstructed to a 32 foot width from Larpenteur Ave to County Road B. Parking will be <br />5 <br />permitted on the east side and “no parking” signs will be posted on the west side of the street. The <br />6 <br />proposed parking restrictions have been discussed with residents throughout the project development. <br />7 <br />Additionally, staff is recommending that parking be prohibited on both the east and west side of Victoria <br />8 <br />Street approaching the existing horizontal curves in the roadway. This is to increase safety in an area <br />9 <br />where visibility of parked vehicles would be difficult. Staff is recommending that parking prohibition be <br />10 <br />extended 100 feet beyond the start of the curvature of each curve. <br />11 <br />The State requires a Council resolution prohibiting parking where street width does not meet State Aid <br />12 <br />standards for parking on both sides. <br />13 <br />PO <br />OLICYBJECTIVE <br />14 <br />In order to utilize available MSA funds, the City must post parking in accordance with adopted State <br />15 <br />Aid standards. <br />16 <br />SR <br />TAFF ECOMMENDATION <br />17 <br />Approve the attached resolution prohibiting parking on the west side of Victoria Street between <br />18 <br />Larpenteur Ave and County Road B as well as prohibiting parking on the east side of Victoria Street <br />19 <br />entering the horizontal curves on Victoria Street. <br />20 <br />RCA <br />EQUESTEDOUNCILCTION <br />21 <br />Approve the attached resolution prohibiting parking Victoria Street between Larpenteur Ave and County <br />22 <br />Road B. <br />23 <br />Prepared by: Marc Culver, City Engineer; <br />Attachments: Resolution <br />Page 1 of 1 <br /> <br />
