-2 - <br />Section 710:05, Subd. 6, of the Code of Ordinances for the City <br />of New Brighton provides that there shall be no parking within 20 <br />feet of any intersection or crosswalk. It goes on to say that it is <br />unlawful at any time to permit any vehicle to park in these areas, <br />except when necessary to avoid conflict with other traffic or in <br />compliance with the directions of a policeman or traffic control <br />device. <br />If people are parking within 20 feet of an intersection or <br />crosswalk, perhaps appropriate signs could be installed on selected <br />streets stating "No Parking Between Signs". <br />These signs could be placed on the north side of City streets <br />west of Silver Lake Road and on the south side of City streets east of <br />Silver Lake Road. Two signs would be required on each street and these <br />signs would cost $35.00 per intersection or $600.00 for the seventeen <br />intersections on Silver Lake Road. I have not included County Roads <br />or State Aid Street intersections. in my opinion these signs would <br />not be needed on most of these intersections, such as Erin Court, <br />Windsor Drive, and Hamilton Court. They may be useful on streets <br />adjacent to apartments where residents tend to park in streets (such <br />as 3rd St.) or on streets where traffic is relatively heavy adajcent <br />to a church (such as 16th St.) <br />If the provisions of Section 710:05, Subd. 6, do not seem <br />adequate, the City Council could amend this Section to provide for <br />no parking for a greater distance than 20 feet from any intersection <br />or crosswalk. <br />JJK:bj <br />t <br />James J(/Kleinschmidt <br />Director of Public Works <br />
