MEMORANDUM
To: Doug Russell, City Manager
From: Susie Turner, Public Works Director
Re: Resolution of Intent and Call for Public Hearing Regarding Amendment of
the Kalispell Design and Construction Standards for the On -Street Parking
Designations
Meeting Date: February 19, 2019
Background: Public Works Staff has participated with Council during several work sessions,
since November of 2017, to develop standard language for on -street parking. Areas of concern
needing "No Parking" designation were brought forward for Council's attention, and Council
requested staff to develop standard language that could be applied to all streets. In consideration
of Councils request, on -street parking language was developed that includes consideration for
street classification (principle arterial, minor arterial, collectors, and local), street and
intersection width and geometrics, and implementation procedures.
The proposed resolution, updates the City's Design and Construction Standards to incorporate
on -street parking language that will be applied to existing and new street's alike. The table below
summarizes the resolution language:
