City of Elk Request for Action River To Item Number Mayor and City Council 8.3 Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by General Business August 18, 2014 Suzanne Fischer,Director, CODD Item Description Reviewed by Parking Restrictions on Industrial Circle Cal Portner, City Administrator Reviewed by Action Requested Adopt,by motion,a resolution to establish No Parking' on the mailbox side of Industrial Circle. Background/Discussion On February 10, 2014, Eric Haehn,President and CEO of Gradient Technologies, sent the attached letter requesting`No Parking' signs be installed from his business entrance to a 100' east past his mailbox. Since the ground was frozen, staff elected to paint the curb yellow 25' on each side of the entrance to identify it as a no parking zone and allow access for normal mail and freight deliveries. This has not been successful in preventing employees from surrounding businesses from parking in that area. On August 5, 2014, Gradient Technologies again contacted staff for assistance with this issue. The increased parking congestion from other businesses and the school compromise traffic flow and increase safety concerns, specifically, • Freight delivery/pick-up is challenged when maneuvering in and out of business entrances. • Postal service is impacted when vehicles are parked too close or in front of a mailbox. • Snow plow activities are impeded by the narrow passageway and inability to plow curb to curb. • Emergency and fire access is restricted when vehicles are parked on both sides of the street. Staff recommends installing`No Parking' signs the entire mailbox side of Industrial Circle as a remedy.
