TO: Mayor & City Council ~~ j\j
Mark McNeill, City Administrator
FROM: Bruce Loney, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Parking on Adams Street
DATE: September 2, 2003
INTRODUCTION:
Attached is a memo dated April 10, 1990 and Resolution No. 3223, a resolution
restricting parking on Adams Street, between 6th Avenue and 3rd Avenue. Previously,
City Council directed staff to look at the parking requirements or restrictions on Adams
Street, from 6th Avenue to 3rd Avenue and report back.
BACKGROUND:
Adams Street was reconstructed in 1990 as a Municipal State Aid Street and built
accordingly to Municipal State Aid Standards. The street was designed to a 36 foot wide
local road and according to State Aid Standards the parking needs to be prohibited on one
side of the street. Resolution No. 3223 restricts parking on Adams Street, between 6th
A venue and 3rd A venue on one side of the street. In review of the signage on Adams
Street, from 6th A venue to 3rd A venue, there are no signs which restrict the parking on
one side of the street.
This agenda item is for City Council to direct staff to install "no parking" signs on one
side of the street and to identify which side of the street should have the restriction. Staff
would recommend the east side of Adams Street be restricted, since the Correctional
Facility owns the property adjacent to Adams Street, from 4th Avenue to 6th Avenue and
does not need parking on that side.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Adopt a motion directing staff to install "no parking" signs on Adams Street, from
6th Avenue to 3rd Avenue on the east side of Adams Street.
2. Direct staff to install "no parking" signs on Adams Street, from 6th A venue to 3rd
A venue on the west side of Adams Street.
~,
3. Table for additional information.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Alternative No.1, to follow up on Resolution No. 3223, and to place
the "no parking" restriction on the east side of Adams Street.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Adopt a motion directing staff to install "no parking" signs on Adams Street, from 6th
A venue to 3rd A venue on the east side of Adams Street.

ADAMS/STREET
MEMO TO: Dennis Kraft, city Administrator
FROM: Dave Hutton, Public Works Direct~~~/
SUBJECT: Adams street, Project No. 1990-3
DATE: April 10, 1990
INTRODUCTION:
Attached is Resolution No. 3223, A Resolution Restricting parking
on Adams street, Between 6th Avenue and 3rd Avenue for council
consideration and approval.
BACKGROUND:
Adams street between 6th Avenue and 3rd Avenue is a Municipal state
Aid street (MSAS). The city council previously ordered plans and
specifications prepared for this project and the plans have now
been completed and are going to be submitted to Mn/DOT for their
review and approval.
This street has been designed as a 36 foot wide local street.
According to Mn/DOT requirements for the projected traffic volumes
on this street, the state Aid standards require that parking be
prohibited on one side of the street. Therefore, the 36 foot wide
street would consist of two driving lanes and one parking lane.
Prior to approving of the plans, Mn/DOT requires that a resolution
restricting parking be passed.
Attached is Resolution No. 3223 which restricts parking on Adams
street between 6th Avenue and 3rd Avenue on one side of the street.
This is the minimum that is required for state Aid approval or
plans. Because of the steep grades associated with the hill on
Adams street between 6th Avenue and 4th Avenue, the city may desire
to restrict parking on both sides of the street for this section of
Adams street, but this issue could be resolved at a later date and
does not require Mn/DOT's approval. _ M
To effectively enforce a parking restriction, an ordinance should
be adopted and signs posted. Staff is proposing to address that
issue once the street is constructed if there is an apparent
parking problem.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Adopt Resolution No. 3223.
2. Deny Resolution No. 3223.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Alternative No. 1.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Offer Resolution No. 3223, A Resolution Restricting Parking on
Adams street (Municipal state Aid street 100) From 6th Avenue to
3rd Avenue in the City of Shakopee, Minnesota, Project No. 1990-3
and move its adoption.
