<br /> <br />Item 6.8. <br /> <br />13065 Orono parh..way <br />Elk Rivec IvlN 55330 <br /> <br />August 29,2005 <br /> <br />The Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />City of Elk River <br />13065 Orono Parkway <br />Elk River :rvtN 55330 <br /> <br />RE: "NO PARKING" RESTRICTION ALONG PROcrORA VENUE <br /> <br />Dear Council Members: <br /> <br />Attached are two memos, one from Sherburne County Public Warks Department and one <br />from Tom Kolar of Linden Corporation, regarding parking problems along Proctor Avenue <br />just north of CSAH 1. Apparently, there are a significant number of cars that park in this <br />general area when there are school events on the fields below Salk Middle SchooL The east <br />side of the roadway is already signed no parking. The County is unsure of how this <br />originally became a no parking zone. They are requesting that the City concur with their <br />plan to sign both sides of Proctor Avenue from CSAH 1 to just north of the Salk Middle <br />School driveway "no parking" to alleviate the problem with pedestrians crossing a busy road <br />and vehicle site distances coming from the Proctor townhouse area. <br /> <br />I have discussed this issue with Police Chief Jeff Beahen. He confirms that there is a <br />problem along this area when events are held at the school fields. He sees no problem with <br />signing this area "no parking" and having the City Police Department enforce the parking <br />restrIctIon. <br /> <br />The County letter requests a resolution from the City Council. I have confirmed with the <br />County Engineer that this is not the appropriate manner in which to create a no parking <br />zone; that actually the County Board should be the one passing the resolution. However, <br />she did request a City Council motion concurring with this proposed action. <br /> <br />If you have any questions regarding this issue, please call. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />:;;;:Ypr~ <br /> <br />Terry J.
