Mainstreet between 11th and 12th Avenues (two-hour limit).
• Leave parking regulations as they currently exist on the west side of 13th Avenue South
between Mainstreet and First Street South (two-hour limit).

between 11th and 12th Avenues (two-hour limit).

from the alley to First Street North.

south boundary of theater development to First Street South (two-hour limit).
3. Implement traffic modifications as per Figure 4 (attached) of Benshoof study, as follows:
• Stripe short right turn lanes on the west and northern legs of the Mainstreet/11th Avenue
intersection to enhance traffic movements and to offset the capacity reduction from
prohibiting right turns on red.
• Stripe two northbound lanes on 11th Avenue, for which the right lane serves right turns
only at Mainstreet.
• Erect signage indicating "No Turn on Red" restriction on all four approaches to the
Mainstreet/11th Avenue intersection.
• Construct drop off/pick up zone on the south side of Mainstreet between 11th and 12th
Avenues, stopping approximately 50 to 70 feet west of the 11th Avenue intersection, to
allow right turn from eastbound Mainstreet to southbound 11th Avenue.

spaces) on the west side of 10th Avenue between Mainstreet and the alley to the south.
Recommend leaving the time limit at its current time limit of 30 minutes.
Undertake striping of the existing parking lot on the north side of Mainstreet between 11th
and 12th Avenues just prior to opening of the cinema. Evaluate appropriateness of
completing this work based on the timing for construction of the Hopkins Center for the Arts.

between 11th and 12th Avenues. signage to indicate no enforcement on Saturday and
Sunday.
