8. NEW BUSINESS
A. Discuss On-Street Parking Options Adjacent to Park Lands
Inconsistencies exist for current on-street parking restrictions on streets adjacent to
parks.
Hillview: Restricted parking southside of Hillview Rd, West side of Greenwood. Parking is
allowed closest to park land. Could open up Hillview Rd. to both sides
Groveland: Parking allowed on both sides of Arden, Restricted on park side of Groveland
Rd.(could switch) and on east side of Fairchild (not park side)
Oakwood: No parking restrictions. Oakwood should have one side restricted (south
side).
Lambert: Restricted parking on east side of Jackson Dr. (park side), but allowed on both
sides of Lambert. Tight road, could have limited parking on east end of park nearest home
access???
City Hall: Parking restricted for part of Edgewood closest to police access on park side.
But allowed on both sides of Edgewood otherwise. Parking restricted on north side of
Bronson (not park side)
Woodcrest: need current parking status for Woodcrest Rd.
Random: overflow parking allowed on both sides of Long Lake Rd, but what about on
Ridge Rd.
