Agenda Section: VIII-097 <br />f . CITY OF NEW BRIGHTON <br /> Report Number: 1 8TQ 9 7 <br /> REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION <br /> • Report Date: April 28, 1998 <br /> ITEM DESCRIPTION: ESTABLISHMENT OF NO PARKING ON <br /> 29TH AVENUE NW,BY HIDDEN OAK PARK <br /> DEPT. HEAD'S APPROVAL: <br /> MANAGER'S REVIEW/RECOMMENDATION: /I//�� <br /> No comments to supplement this report /�d""^� Comments attached <br /> EXPLANATION/SUMMARY (attach supplemental sheets as necessary) <br /> Mr. Richard Morse of 1405 29th Avenue NW stopped by the Public Works Department booth at the 1998 Town Hall <br /> meeting and expressed a concern about safety for children ere ing 29th Avenue NW by Hidden Oak Park. During ball <br /> games and other high use times cars are frequently parked along both sides of the road which block viability for children <br /> crossing the road and cars traveling on 29th Avenue. <br /> On April 13, 1998, the Park and Recreation Director and myself meet with Mr. Morse at Hidden Oak Park to review the <br /> Stuation. We concurred that this is a potential safety problem and are recommending the establishment of no parking <br /> zones on both sides of 29th Avenue NW where pedestrian crossing occurs. We are recommending that no parking be <br /> established on the east side of 29th Avenue NW from the park entrance on the north to the parking lot entrance on the <br /> south,and on the west side of 29th Avenue NW from the south end of the retaining wall on the north to the church <br /> entrance on the south. See attached location map. We are not proposing to post the west side of 29th Avenue along the <br /> retaining wall as the wall and steep grade make crossing in this area impractical. <br /> The establishment of the no parking should not result in any parking shortage for the park. There is a 22 stall parking lot <br /> on the east side of 29th Avenue which has generally gone unused because of the tendency of people to park on the street. <br /> RECOMMENDATION <br /> To Approve the attached RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING NO PARKING ON 29TH AVENUE NW BY HIDDEN OAK <br /> PARK. <br /> "-CALK, PA--Vp-i./ <br /> 0, Leslie J.
