BACKGROUND:
In 2007, a two hour parking limitation on Seventh Street (west of Parker Avenue) was established to discourage the local auto wrecking business from parking and encroaching extra vehicles on the roadway for extended periods. Recently, the Traffic Engineering Section received a request by a homeowner located across the street from the wrecking yard to remove the two hour parking restriction on their block of Seventh Street to allow parking of their own vehicles without the time limitation. Although the implications of lifting the two hour parking limitation was explained to the resident, namely that parking would be available to the general public again for extended periods, the resident remained committed to lifting the limitation on their block. In addition, the residents neighbor was also in agreement with the removal of the parking limitation on their block. Therefore, we recommend the parking limitation on one block of the north side of Seventh Street be removed while the two hour limitation remain on the rest of Seventh Street (west of Parker Avenue) in Rodeo.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The two hour parking limitation will remain on the entirety of Seventh Street west of Parker Avenue.
