515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 55117 -1600 (612) 484 -2177 / FAX: (612) 484 -4538 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Fahey & Members of the City Council gFROM: Scott Tangen, Public Works Director DATE: August 23, 1996 MAYOR Michael I. Fahey COUNCIL Beverly Scalze Jim LaValle Steve Morelan Bob Pedersen ADMINISTRATOR Joel R. Hanson RE: Parking on Canabury Drive from Demont to County Road B2 I have received a couple of requests to review parking on Canabury Drive between Demont Avenue and County Road B2. Some facts on this street are as follows: * It is a bituminous surfaced street with bituminous curbing both sides along the majority of the street. * It is 27 feet wide except where you approach Demont where it widens to 36 feet at the concrete curb. * It has an average annual daily traffic count (AADT) of 900 in 1993. * It has a 30 m.p.h. speed limit. * Canabury Condominiums, 2495 Canabury Drive, is adjacent to the street. They have 101 dwelling units, 105 parking spaces available indoors, and 200± parking spaces in both their front and rear outdoor parking lots. * Grand Pre Apartments, 205 County Road B2, is adjacent to the street. They have 250 apartment units, 200 underground parking spaces, and 200± parking spaces in the north and south outdoor parking lots. I have spoken with Dennis Sabo and Ralph Kobeska, Vice - President and President of the Canabury Condominiums Association. They are both strongly in favor of a parking ban on both sides of the street. I have also spoken with Kathy Baerthel, Manager of the Grand Pre Apartments. She is against a parking ban on both sides of the street, but she is for banning parking on one side. Given the hilly, curvy nature of the street, the amount of traffic, and the width of this road, I recommend banning parking on both sides of Canabury Drive from Demont Avenue to County Road B2.
