• Heavy parking on a narrow street and the lack of an outlet to the north create a potential <br />public safety hazard. <br />• In other areas of the city where we have permit parking, enforcement has been an issue. <br />Parking enforcement is not the primary duty of the police officer assigned to the city, and <br />there is no funding for additional police staffing to enforce permit parking on a consistent <br />basis. Fees from parking permits would not cover the cost of enforcement. <br />• However, parking signs themselves would have a deterrent effect, and residents could get <br />some relief by reporting violations immediately. <br />• Merely extending the present restriction northward and not covering the whole length of <br />Lindig would, in the opinion of Staff, push the problem up Lindig and add to the hardship <br />residents currently experience. <br />Staff Recommendation: <br />Based on information collected, Staff recommends granting the petition to institute permit <br />parking on the whole length of Lindig, including the existing restricted zone. Parking would be <br />restricted to 2 hours for non-permit holders between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 pm., Monday through <br />Friday. All Lindig residents would be eligible to apply for parking permits, according to the <br />terms of the City parking policy. <br />Attachmentc~ <br />• Copy of June 8 letter to Lindig residents <br />Petition for permit parking received by City <br />Letter sent to neighborhood and copy of legal notice <br />Copy of letter with signatures of additional residents <br />Map of Lindig Street <br />Copy of City Administrative Policy on Permit Parking <br />Copy of Resolution 2004- <br />Action Requested: <br />Recommend approval of Resolution 2004-_ to the City Council, instituting permit parking on <br />Garden Avenue between Howell and Moore Streets. <br />• <br />Staff Report: Permit Parking on Lindig September 28, 2004 Page 3 of 3 <br />
