Mourns ViEw of Mounds View Staff R Item No: 8G Meeting Date: October 14, 2019 Type of Business: Council Business Administrator Review: To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Don Peterson, Public Works Director Item Title/Subject: Resolution 9175, Authorizing the installation of No Overnight Parking Signs and No Parking Signs Background: Staff has been made aware of separate parking issues within the City. • Individuals parking vehicles overnight at the Mounds View Community Center. • Parking on both sides of the street on Irondale and Bona Roads, just north of County Road H. • Splash Down patron parking on Edgewood Drive Discussion: The Community Center Parking Lot is designed for guest and patrons of the Community Center. The last several months, residents from the neighboring apartment complexes have been using the parking lot for overnight parking. Currently the parking lot is not signed for overnight parking making enforcement a challenge. In addition, by allowing parking overnight at this facility, Public Works cannot complete snow removal operations efficiently and thoroughly. Additional Discussion: Irondale High School is having a major construction project this year. It has been discovered that students/drivers are using Irondale and Bona Roads, both sides of the roads, for parking during the school day/evening making travel difficult for other vehicles. An additional concern is that during the winter months plow trucks along with emergency vehicles will not be able to safely or possibly not at all, have access through these streets. Continued Discussion: The 2019 opening of Splash Down created a parking issue for the residents and the Police Department on Edgewood Drive. Staff has determined that no parking signs should be installed on the north side of Edgewood Drive (Bronson to Bronson Drives) from Memorial Day to Labor Day. It should be noted that the North side of the MVCC continues to allow for many vehicles to park and have safe access to the crosswalk connecting to Splash Down. Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal: Maintain and Plan for Infrastructure Improvements. Financial Impact The 2019 budget, Street Sign Budget has funds for sings account 100- 4475-1600 will be used for the necessary signage. No additional transfer of funds is necessary.
