SUBJECT: Motor Vehicle (MV) Resolution
______________________________________________________________________________
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
Move to adopt the Motor Vehicle Resolution authorizing “No Parking or Stopping” on Sobey
Meadows Court.
REPORT SUMMARY:
As part of the continued implementation of traffic calming surrounding Marshall Lane School
and responding to neighborhood concerns, the staff is requesting to restrict parking and stopping
on Sobey Meadows Court. Because of its close proximity to Marshall Lane School, this street is
used as a drop off area for the school. The entrance to the street is narrow with a center median
and if cars stop or park in this entryway, it blocks all traffic and creates a safety hazard.
Therefore, it is recommended that 65 feet of on each side of the street at the entrance to Sobey
Meadows Court be posted with signs indicating “No Parking or Stopping Anytime”. For the
remainder of the street staff recommends signs indicating “No Parking or Stopping Monday thru
Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., while school is in session”. In order to enforce the signs, it is
necessary that the attached Motor Vehicle Resolution be adopted by City Council.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
Approximately $250 in labor and materials is required for the City to post signs. These
improvements are paid through the CIP which has a fund devoted to Traffic Safety.
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION:
The MV Resolutions would not be adopted and traffic conditions would continue as is.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
None.
