GLrtB l aliaa MAYOR Bill Blesener COUNCIL Jim LaValle Rick Montour Barbara Allan John Keis 515 Little Canada Road. Little Canada. MN 55117 -1600 ADMINISTRATOR (651) 766 -4029 / FAX: (651) 766-4048 Joel R. Hanson www.ci.little- canada.mn.us MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Blesener and Members of the City Council FROM: Joel Hanson, City Administrator DATE: April 22, 2005 RE: Parking Regulations Pursuant to Council direction, staff has prepared a tentative recommendation for modifying parking restrictions for on- street trails. This recommendation is based on staff discussion and input from our traffic officer, Deputy Tim Entner (see copy of memo attached). It is as follows: No Changes in No Parking Restrictions (i.e. retain no parking on both sides of the street): • County Road B2 — Edgerton to Arcade • LaBore Road — Centerville to County Road D • Arcade (Keller Parkway to LaBore Road) The basis for the "no change" recommendation is the volume of pedestrian traffic on these roads as well as increased traffic impacts from Unweave the Weave. These streets can be reevaluated upon the completion of that project. Allow Parking on One Side of the street: • Arcade — LaBore to County Road D (no recommendation as to which side is restricted) • McMenemy Street — Little Canada Road to Viking Drive (west side as no parking) • Viking Drive — McMenemy to Edgerton (south side as no parking) On McMenemy, staff is recommending that parking in front of St. John's Church and School retain the current regulations, except that we are recommending additional parking restrictions on the west side of McMenemy from LC Road to the crosswalk running from the joint parking lot on the east side of the street to the entrance to the Church. This is being done to improve visibility at the LC Road McMenemy intersection and to make turns from LC Road onto McMenemy easier during Church activities. One reason we are recommending parking be restricted on the west side involves children's access to the school occurring on that side of the street, especially in the area from Demont 2
