According to Ms. Erickson, the street is not properly swept due to the number of vehicles regularly parked on the street. Ms. Erickson also stated that the amount of vehicles parked on the street often times nearly occupies a majority of available public parking regardless of the time or day of the week. Two citizen -initiated petitions were created and distributed around the neighborhood. Both petitions clearly stated the action being requested and specific location of said action. It was then submitted to Engineering staff for review. Staff analyzed the petitions and ascertained that the neighborhood demonstrated enough interest to move forward with the process of installing "No Parking" signage for street sweeping purposes. Staff visited the site after the petition was received. The neighborhood is composed of single- family, multiple -family, apartment complexes, condominium, and commercial properties. Given the observed amount of vehicles parking on the public street, staff agrees that the installation of time- and day -restricted "No Parking" signage for the purposes of weekly street sweeping access would be beneficial to the neighborhood and maintenance of the street. Engineering staff consulted with Public Works Streets Division to verify the street sweeping schedule for this area, which is every Tuesday between the hours of 7:00 AM and 9:00 AM with the exception of City holidays. At their meeting on December 11, 2013, the Traffic Safety Committee unanimously approved the staff recommendation to install time- and day -restricted "No Parking - Street Sweeping" signage on both sides of E. 26th Street between "B" Avenue and "D" Avenue, and on the east side of "B" Avenue north of E. 26th Street to enhance scheduled Public Works weekly street sweeping access and maintenance. If approved by City Council, all work will be performed by City Public Works.
