CONSENT #8
AGENDA ITEM: Lake Elmo Ave Parking
SUBMITTED BY: Kristina Handt, City Administrator
BACKGROUND:
At the June 12, 2018 work session, Council discussed the parking issues downtown. Staff had suggested
one of the changes could be to switch the 60 minute limit areas to 90 minutes.
ISSUE BEFORE COUNCIL:
Does the Council support changing the 60 minute parking spots to 90 minutes?
PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS:
Since Lake Elmo Ave is a County road, Washington County has the authority to change the parking
restrictions. Their practice has been to ask for a resolution from the City Council before approving any
changes. A resolution is included in your packet. This change will impact 11 parking spaces; 3 near the
post office and 8 north of 34th St.
OPTIONS:
1) Approve the resolution
2) Amend and then approve the resolution
3) Do not approve the resolution
RECOMMENDATION:
