CouncJ.l Report 92-136 SIGNAGE OF HENNEPIN COUNTY LRT RIGHT OF WAY PROPERTY of Wa This motion will allow staff to undertake necessary steps to restrict parking to 24 hours, Monday - Friday, on the county LRT property between 7th & 10th avenues, north of Mainstreet. Overview The City presently eases the County LRT Right of Way from the Hennepin County Regional Rai road Authority. This property is located between 7th & 10th avenues, north of Mainstreet. It is currently being utilized as an unrestricted parkin area. City staff has received complaints on vehicles being stored on thi right of way for long periods of time. Some of these vehicles are unlice sed and unregistered, and a few have not been moved for months. Storage of ehicles is unsightly and makes this area unattractive for surrounding res'dences and businesses. In an effort to mor effectively control this situation, staff is ..'~~recommendingerecti g regulatory signage along the right of way. It is proposed this signa e will read "24 hour parking Monday - Friday". Staff is recommending 24 hou parking Monday - Friday because this time frame will allow a vehicle to e parked in this area through the weekend and still remain in complianc with the parking regulation. This signage will allow the Police Departme t to ticket and/or tow vehicles from this area which are in violation. Because Staff desir s to resolve this issue as soon as possible, the parking Committee h s not been asked to act on this recommendation. The next meeting of the parking Committee is to be held on July 15, 1992, and at that time they w'll be updated as to the action of the City Council on this issue. primar Issues to C nsider o What is,t e cost associated with this recommendation?
