[Vision2020] Sixth Street Parking Restrictions

[Tom Hansen]

Greetings Visionaires -

A very interesting (and controversial) topic will be discussed at
tonight's (May 18, 2009) Moscow City Council session.

Courtesy of the Moscow City Council agenda for May 18, 2009 . . .

"6th Street Parking Plan – Presented by Les MacDonald

During the recent winter snow removal operations, temporary no parking
restrictions were placed on Sixth Street between Blaine and Logan Streets.
This restriction was implemented in order to facilitate more efficient and
complete snow removal on this Collector classification roadway. After the
temporary restriction was installed questions began to arise as to whether
the restriction should be made permanent. This issue has been discussed on
several occasions by the Transportation Commission. The Commission did not
come to resolution on the matter as it was believed that there should be a
more holistic look at the issue of corridor traffic management, street
classifications, on-street parking, and street standards. The Commission
is currently working on street standards and will be continuing its
efforts on traffic management next. To address this issue, the Public
Works/Finance Committee was briefed at their meeting of February 23, 2009.
The Committee requested that the topic be scheduled for a future meeting
with invitations being sent to interested parties who may wish to attend
to express their perspective on the possibility of permanently removing
parking on this section of Sixth Street. Letters of invitation have been
sent to all of the property owners on Sixth Street between Blaine and
Logan Streets. Input was received at the April 27, 2009 Public
Works/Finance Committee meeting."
