By way of background, Mr. Hubmer explained that, cur- 31 rently, 29th Avenue is designed for two lanes of traffic, with parking on both sides. The street 32 has chokers and reducers, which were installed to assist in controlling traffic flow and speed. 33 Consequently, at the points where the chokers and reducers were installed,there is not adequate 4 width for parking on both sides of the street. Therefore, the City must ban the parking of motor vehicles on 29th Avenue at all times at certain points. Pursuant to State requirements, the City is 36 required to pass a Resolution to that effect and retain the Resolution in the City's files.
