CITY OF SHAKOPEE
Memorandum
TO: Mayor and City Council COf~SENT
FROM: Mark McNeill, City Administrator
SUBJECT: Classic Car Cruise-Holmes Street Addition
DATE: May 5, 2007
Comment:
Introduction:
The Council is asked to approve extending parking restrictions and sidewalk sales to
include the 100 block of Holmes Street.
Background:
At the April 21 st City Council meeting, the Council approved restricting parking and
allowing for sidewalk sales for First A venue from Holmes to Sommerville Streets, and
Lewis Street from First to Third A venues. As part ofthat discussion, it was suggested
that Holmes Street be added. Action on that was deferred until effective property owners
could be notified.
Since that time, Car Cruise organizer Brian Turtle and I have discussed the impact of this
potential added area. We have decided for the time being, extending the car cruise
boundaries should be in the 100 block of Holmes Avenue only, and not extend south of
the south line of Second A venue. That is because of the concern for impacts on the
residential properties that front the 200 block of Holmes. Otherwise, Mr. Turtle and
representatives of the Downtown Business Partnership have been in contact with the
commercial property owners and have indicated a positive feedback.
We have also discussed whether there is a formal need to restrict parking on Second
A venue, as it would be beyond barricades restricting both Holmes and Lewis. Our
recommendation is to leave it unrestricted at this time.
The hours of the additional Holmes Street restriction would be the same as for the other
streets-barricades going up at 7:00 p.m.
Relationship to Visioning:
This supports Goal A: (Active and Healthy Community) and Goal B: (High Quality of
Life).
Recommendation:
I recommend that the Downtown Car Cruise be extended to allow for parking restrictions
and sidewalk sales for the nine dates in the summer months previously approved be
extended to include Holmes Street from First A venue to the south line of Second Avenue.
Action Required:
If the Council concurs, it should, by motion, approve the extension of parking restrictions
and sidewalk sales for the Downtown Classic Car Cruise to include Holmes Street from
First A venue, to the south line of Second Avenue.
