Mr. Thomas McBride, owner of the businesses at 115, 117 and 119 E. 8th Street,
requested 30-minute parking in order to create higher parking turnover for his
customers and allow for more efficient enforcement. He has experienced drivers
not associated with his businesses parking for extended periods of time, thereby
limiting parking access for his customers.
Staff visited the site and observed that there are approximately five parking
spaces on the north side of E. 8th Street between A Avenue and the alley. Four
spaces are "unrestricted" parking, while one space in front of 119 E. 8th Street is
signed as 20-minute parking.
Installation of time restricted parking is appropriate in business districts to
encourage higher parking turnover for customers and more efficient enforcement.
Therefore, staff recommends installation of green curb 30-minute time restricted
parking with signs in front of 115, 117 and 119 E. 8th Street.
All work will be completed by City Public Works.
