What parking restrictions are being proposed?
0
No Parkinq Anytime
1) Westbrooke Way, both sides of street from 11th Avenue South
to Smetana Road excluding the area designated for 2 hour
parking restrictions as mentioned below.
2 Hour Parking Restrictions
1) Westbrooke Way, east side of street from Smetana Road to 250
feet north of Old Settlers Trail.
0 Why are the parking restrictions necessary?
Westbrooke Way between 9th and 11th Avenue - The proposed
parking restrictions preserve the existing "No Parking" parking
restrictions. The resolution is only intended to formally
approve the restrictions in case they might not have been in the
past.
Westbrooke Way between 9th Avenue and Smetana Road - This portion
of Westbrooke Way used to be a private road and did not have any
. previous parking restrictions. During the design of this
reconstruction project, it was determined by the city and the
property owners that they wanted an open parkway look for the
road. The "No Parking" restrictions are intended to accomplish
this goal.
The two hour parking restrictions proposed for a portion of the
east side of the road are intended to provide short term parking
for park users. They are also intended to prevent long term
parking thereby preserving the parkway look.
0 What were the property owners responses to the proposed
restrictions?
Generally, all the property owners that attended the meetings
were in favor of the parking restrictions. Their goal for a
parkway appearance far outweighed the need or desire for on-
street parking.
