-t - ~ . ~' ' University Grove Homeowners Association RECOMMENDED PARKING RESTRICTION CHANGES March 1992 West Ho~-t at Cleveland Limit parking on the northeast end of West Hoyt near the University tennis courts to 2 hours (or less) with no parking allowed within 10-15 feet of Cleveland Avenue. This would: provide short-term parking for non-residents consistent with the intent of parking restrictions elsewhere in the neighborhood; make these spaces more available to people using the tennis courts; and prevent the obstructed view that currently creates a hazard for those driving from Hoyt onto Cleveland Avenues. _Fulham. Vincent & Northrop Streets Change the signs on Fulham, Vincent, and Northrop Streets to limit parking between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM on weekdays only (i.e, add "Monday through Friday"). The residents on these streets do not feel that weekend restrictions are necessary, and the sign change would make the parking restrictions on these streets uniform with those on the adjoining sections of Hoyt and Folwell Avenues, making enforcement easier. Folwell Avenue East of Coffman Limit parking on Folwell Avenue east of Coffman to 1 hour between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM, Monday - Friday. Parking on this section of Folwell was limited to 1 hour until the signs were changed in 1990 or 1991. Since the change, daytime student parking and the resulting street congestion have increased significantly. Returning to the 1-hour limit would noticeably ease the congestion. General Safety Prohibit parking within 10 feet or so of intersections, curves or school bus stops~f permitting parking in these areas would obstruct visibility or vehicular clearance. This is a general request for the City engineer(s) to evaluate the safety of on- street parking in terms of the Grove's street layout and terrain, and to prohibit parking where it creates a hazardous condition for drivers or pedestrians. Residents cited the following as particular points of concern because they are on what have become the "commuter routes" through the Grove from Larpenteur Avenue to St. Anthony Park: o The northwest corner of the Coffman & Folwell intersection o The curves on Northrop where it joins Folwell o Northrop where it joins Hoyt o The curve on Folwell where it joins Fulham o The corner where o t& u a intersect Other potential hazard areas cited are: o The curves on Vincent where it joins Folwell • o The curve at the east end of Folwell o School bus stops in the neighborhood
