Analysis:
. Analysis of the three parking sites
Exhibit A
Staff proposes to post "No Parking" on the east side of 11th
Ave. North from Mainstreet to 1st Street North. There is a
real hazard to vehicles entering 11th Avenue from Lot 500 under
current parking conditions. Site lines are obstructed and the
danger is compounded by oncoming accelerating vehicles having
cleared the intersection at Mainstreet. There is increased
pedestrian traffic in this area and street crossings are made
more dangerous for people trying to access the Arts Center and
the library on the west side of 11th Avenue.
Exhibit A calls for closing two parking s~alls south of the
alley serving Lot 500 and closing four stalls between this
alley and the Taits driveway. Staff feels this provides
optimum safety for vehicles moving from the parking lot into
the street. This proposal has not been discussed with the
Parking Committee or businesses in the area.
Exhibit B
Citigables residents have voiced concern over safety
associated with egress from their site parking areas. The
exhibit illustrates closing off eight parking stalls along the
east side of 12th Ave. South from 1st street South to
approximately 200 feet north to address sight line issues.
Exhibit C
The Parking Committee has recommended changes in posted
parking along the west side of Jackson Ave. North from St.
Louis Street to 2nd Street NE. Some sections along this route
are posted with two hour parking restrictions and this plan
would eliminate that feature. The illustrated layout was one
reached by consensus of the committee and businesses in the
neighborhood.

Staff recommends approval of Exhibits A, Band C.
