Citv of <br />.ver <br />MEMORANDUM \, <br />,~ <br />TO: Bob Thistle, City Administrato ,. <br />FROM: Steve Benoit, Recreation Manager <br />Chris Leeseberg, Parks Planner <br />DATE: August 22, 201 1 <br />SUBJECT: Highlands West Park Parking Issue <br />-~ ando~f ~I~ ~ <br />Irl~oryvtl~ h~ (1Y1~ [ <br />Background <br />Concern has been raised regarding parking at Highlands West Park which is located at 19550 <br />Auburn Street. A trail runs through the park, crossing over Auburn Street to a connection <br />on the other side of the street to Highlands East Park. Because there is no parking lot, <br />patrons must park along Auburn Street to access park amenities. The issue involves park <br />users parking close to the trail where it connects with Auburn Street, creating a visibility <br />issue and potential safety hazard for trail users. <br />Staff Recommendation <br />Staff recommends that a no parking zone be created on each side of Auburn Street at the <br />trail crossing. The no parking zone would entail: <br />1. "No Parking" yellow stripes to be painted along the Auburn Street curbs (both sides) <br />which would encompass the trail crossing points. <br />2. White "Cross i~alk Blocks" will need to be painted on road surface of Auburn Street <br />at the trail crossing. <br />3. "Pedestrian CrossingAheacP' and "Pedestrian Crossing" signs need to be installed in both <br />directions on Auburn Street. <br />4. "No Parking" signs on each end of yellow striped areas. <br />Items 2 & 3 should be completed even if the City does not designate the above areas as "No <br />Parking". <br />Attachments <br />C~e~ <br />• Highlands West Park parking restriction graphic <br />
