CITY OF SHAKOPEE h~vj'sed
Memorandum
TO: Mayor & City Council
Mark McNeill, City Administrator
FROM: Bruce Loney, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Considering Parking Control Signage for
Countryside Streets North of Shako pee High School
DATE: August 18, 2009
INTRODUCTION:
This agenda item is to consider installing two-hour parking control signs during school
hours on streets north of 17th Avenue, east of Fuller Street and west of C.R. 79 to T.H.
169.
BACKGROUND:
At previous Council meetings, Council discussed the concern by the School District on
the amount of cars parked on City streets versus the high school parking lot. At its June
25, 2009 Traffic Safety Review Committee meeting, the committee would recommend
installing two-hour parking signs during school hours on these intersections of streets on
17th A venue leading to the streets in this development. This new signage would be in
affect for the upcoming school year and would also apply to all of the residents in that
area.
Staff has received phone inquiries on the amount of cars parked on City streets during the
school year. The School District has the concern of the amount of kids parking off of
school property and then crossing 17th A venue during the morning rush hour. Thus, the
proposal that is before Council is to install two-hour parking signs during school hours
for the street intersections north of 17th A venue. Attached is a map showing the area
affected and also the location of the proposed two-hour parking signs leading into the
development.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approve a motion authorizing the two-hour parking signs during school hours on
Breton Street, Shire Street and Tarpan Street north of 17th A venue and as shown
on the attached map.
2. Do not install two-hour parking signs.

signs during school hours at the street intersections shown on the attached map.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Approve a motion authorizing the two-hour parking signs during school hours on Breton
Street, Shire Street and Tarpan Street north of 17th A venue and as shown on the attached
map.
