Re: Ordinance 1781 - Elimination of Timed Parking Zone on 2nd Avenue
West and Streets West of 2nd Avenue West
Meeting Date: November 7, 2016.
Background: 2nd Avenue West, from Center Street to 4th Street, is currently a timed
parking zone with 2-hour parking, along with portions of streets to the west of this
section of 2nd Avenue West. Planning department staff approached the Parking Advisory
Board recommending the removal of time restrictions. This area, according to their
studies, is under utilized. Planning staff believes this area could be better utilized with
downtown employee parking, thus freeing up more parking spaces closer to downtown.
The Parking Advisory Board agreed with the recommendations.
Fiscal effects: There will be less revenue from parking citations written in this area, with
the exact amount unknown. Revenue from 2-hour parking in 2015 was $21,930. There
are approximately 70 block faces with 2-hour parking. This area accounts for about 12
block faces. If parking citations were evenly distributed throughout the district, there
could be an estimated loss of $3,728. However, this area is less utilized.
Alternatives: Keep the current time restrictions.
Recommendation: Eliminate the time restrictions on 2nd Avenue West, from Center
Street to 4th Street West, and the streets to the west of 2nd Avenue West.
