North of Wyandotte

• Number of on-street parking spaces: 78

• Percentage of lots with driveways: 39%

• Number of issued parking permits (during school year): 77

• Existing meters: 6

• Potential number of new meter spaces: 0

Based on the above, a total of 13 new metered spaces could be considered.

OPTION A:

The addition of the 13 new metered spaces listed above with normal operating hours, 9am through 6 pm. This option does add a number of potential new transient spots to the area, however create 13 unrestricted spots from 6 pm until 9 am the next day. Alternatively, these new metered spaces could be restricted using signage, to residential permit use between 6 pm and 9 am.

OPTION B:

No new metered spots added and all residential permitted spots remain the way they are to date. This option adds no benefit to local business, but does not upset residential parking practices.

Risk Analysis:

Option A – While this option has a potential benefit to the businesses, the risk to adding metered spots is that there would be less spaces for residents in an already crowded area. This risk could be mitigated a little by restricting the metered spaces to residential permit use during the hours of 6 pm and 9 am. However, residents would be required to move their vehicles during the hours the meters are active.

Option B – No additional risk, no benefits to the area businesses.
