DATE: August 6, 2001
SUBJECT: City Council Meeting — August 9, 2001
ITEM: 12.D.4. Consider an ordinance prohibiting parking during certain time
periods on Plantation Court, Plantation Cove, and a portion of
Plantation Drive. (Second Reading) The first reading of the
ordinance was approved on July 26, 2001.
Resource: Jim Nuse, Public Works Director
Tom Word, Traffic Engineer
History: Staff has received numerous requests regarding the safety of children whose
parents use the Plantation Cove as a drop off and pick up area for the elementary
school. After our engineering evaluation, it was determined that this practice
poses a safety hazard to children and a congestion factor to residents in the
immediate area. Staff is recommending that an ordinance be established that
would prohibit stopping, standing, or parking during school zone hours for
Plantation Court, Plantation Cove and Plantation Drive from FM 3406 to Tarlton
Lane.
Funding:
Cost: $280
Source of funds: Operating Budget
Outside Resources: N/A
Impact: Will provide improved mobility for school traffic and residents of immediate
area with less congestion to affected streets under the no parking ordinance.
Benefit: Greater safety to residents of area and improved safety of children.
