CITY OF SHAKOPEE
Memorandum
TO: Mayor & City Council
Mark McNeill, City Administrator
FROM: Bruce Loney, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Consider Parking Control Signage Changes along
11 th A venue, from C.R. 79 to Market Street
DATE: August 19, 2003
INTRODUCTION:
Attached to this memorandum is a petition received by staff on August 12,2003, for City
Council to consider restricting parking on 11th A venue, from C.R. 79 to Market Street.
BACKGROUND:
Per the petition received by staff, residents in the area along 11 th A venue, from C.R. 79 to
Market Street are concerned about the amount of parking on this street and the amount of
debris or garbage that is left behind from persons parking on the street. The amount of
parking along 11th A venue is from the nearby high school, in which the students are
electing to park on the public street versus the parking lot by the high school.
Per City Ordinance, Section 7.03, this section requires that no signs or signals shall be
created or maintained for traffic or parking control until the City Council has approved
and directed these signs be installed. Staff has just received this request on August 12,
2003, and has observed considerable parking on this street during the school season.
The street width for 11th Avenue is 38 feet and is wide enough to accommodate two
parking lanes and two traveled lanes according to the City's Transportation Plan. The
issue in restricting parking on the public street for the City Council is to eliminate
parking on the street may transfer the parking to adjacent streets and may be shifting the
problem to another neighborhood. This parking issue is very similar to parking along the
public streets adjacent to the Scott County Courthouse. In regard to the parking concerns
on those streets, it was determined by the City to work with Scott County in order to
minimize the amount of parking on public streets in this area.
Staff does not have any recommendation in regard to this situation, at this time, as
granting this request may shift the problem to adjacent neighborhoods. This is a public
street in which parking is permitted by persons who have licensed vehicles.
j
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approve a motion directing staff to install "No Parking" signs along 11 th Avenue,
from C.R. 79 to Market Street while school is in session, as per the submitted
petition.
2. Direct staff not to install "No Parking" signs at this time, and work with the
school district to minimize the impact to the streets.
3. Table for additional information.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff does not a recommendation, on this particular request, as this is a policy decision as
to whether or not parking should be restricted. From an engineering perspective, the
street is wide enough to handle parking on both sides and allow traffic flow in this area.
Many of the resident's complaints are in regard to speeding, placing garbage on property
and other behavior that involves enforcement of City Ordinances.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Approve a motion directing staff to install "No Parking" signs or not to install "No
Parking" signs and work with the school district to minimize the impact to the
neighborhood.

CITY OF SHAKOPEE
To: City of Shakopee
We the residents along 11 th Avenue from County Road 79 to Market St. would request the city of
Shakopee to post "No Parking" signs along 11 th Avenue while school is in session. The students
have been parking on 11 th Avenue with no regard for the residents that live there. They speed,
throw garbage on our lawns, park on the lawns and boulevard, (see pictures) and yes, urinate
on the street and boulevard. This continues to happen even after many requests to stop.
With this in mind and for the safety of the small children and to curtail the constant cleanup, we
petition the City to put up "No Parking" signs in this 2 block stretch.
Thank you for your consideration.
