Medina DATE: April 17, 1990 SUBJECT: MARKT STREET PARKING TIME LIMIT REST ICTIONS RESOLUTION NO. 0-55 DEPARTMENT: Public Works` BACKGROUND I A utility company located on the south side of Market Street between San Fernando Road and Walnut Street requested that the traffic engineering staff evaluate the parking supply and demand to improve on -street parking availability for customers. Market Street currently has unrestricted parking in this block with angle parking on the north side and parallel parking on the south side. An analysis of the parking demand in the area showed that all -day parking occupied a majority of the parking supply and limited the availability of short-term customer parking. The parking usage would be improved by restricting a small portion of the parking to a maximum time limit of 20 minutes. A plan of the proposed parking restrictions is attached. °l RECOMMENDATION Adopt Resolution Number 90-55, authorizing the installation of time limit restrictions on the south side of Market Street between Walnut Street and San Fernando Road. Direct staff to install appropriate curb markings to effect this restriction. ATTACHMENT Resolution 90-55 Area Map r Agenda Item: }
