Brian Anderson, Facility Services for Holy Family Memorial, was present

on behalf of Eric Braun to discuss this request. The proposed change

would eliminate a total of six on-street parking spaces between Riverview

Drive and Meadow Lane; however, there is adequate parking available in

the parking lot.

Amber Daugs also expressed concerns regarding the placement of

additional No Parking signs on the east side of Riverview Drive in front of

Core Treatment Services.

Engineering Division Manager Greg Minikel was present and supported

the request, noting that the width of the roadway is very narrow.

Moved by Cummings, seconded by Beeman, that this Action Item be approved

and referred to Council. The motion carried by the following vote:

This request was submitted through the Road Sign/Pedestrian Crossing

Request Form. After reviewing the area, Engineering Division Manager

Greg Minikel recommended installing stop signs at the intersection of

South 22nd Street and Summit Street for northbound and southbound

traffic on South 22nd Street due to a site obstruction.

Alderperson Benzinger explained that this item was brought forward on

behalf of a constituent. The area of concern is the 45-degree curve in the

roadway at 35th Street and Lindbergh Drive.

Neighboring residents were invited to attend the meeting, and those

present expressed that they did not support the request.

Engineering Division Manager Greg Minikel explained that the street is 36

feet wide, which is common for residential areas in the City and allows for

typical parking on both sides of the roadway. Greg also expressed concern

that removing parking on both sides of the street could result in increased

speeding in the area. Greg further added that painting double yellow lines

in the roadway may be beneficial and could help address the concern.

A motion was made by Alderperson Cummings to deny the request for No

Parking restrictions and instead paint double yellow lines in the roadway.

Moved by Anderson, seconded by Beeman, that this Action Item be denied and

referred to Council. The motion carried by the following vote:

5 - Reckelberg, Beeman, Cummings, Anderson and Benzinger
