<br />INFORMATION <br /> <br />To: Elk River City Council <br />From: Wendy Simenson President, Downtown Rivers Edge Business Association <br />7/14/05 <br /> <br />Subject: Downtown Parking Ordinance and Proposed Traffic Flow Changes <br /> <br />The Rivers Edge Downtown Business Association would like to see the language in the <br />ordinance 74-97 (b) changed to "Residents of the Brick Block will be issued resident <br />parking permits and they shall be limited to (2) parking spots per apartment. No vehicle <br />shall be parked overnight in the King A venue parking lot unless it is displaying a <br />Resident of Brick Block parking permit......" <br /> <br />Background: Residential Parking Permits will be valid 24/7 for parking in the King <br />Avenue lot. The King Avenue Lot will need to provide parking for the existing <br />businesses and employees downtown along with the new employee and customers who <br />will come from the Jackson Square and Bluffs businesses. Our current experience with <br />resident parking in the King A venue Lot is that cars and trucks of residents often sit <br />without moving for days at a time. With space at a premium we can't afford to offer <br />parking permits to any Elk River resident who needs additional parking. <br />
