3. RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve the request and authorize the City Traffic Engineer to modify the restricted hours,
if necessary, based on the needs of local business.
4. FISCAL IMPACT

Devices (16302) through Traffic Improvement Measure M2 (263).
5. STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS
Goal 1: Provide for a safe community
b. Provide and maintain infrastructure necessary to ensure the safety of the public.
6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
This request to implement "No Overnight Parking" on (a) Freedom Avenue and (b)
American Way Street was made by an affected business owner. The basis of this request
is to better provide on-street parking for local businesses by removing vehicles from the
aforementioned streets that are not associated with any of the businesses on these
streets.
According to the proponent, workers from landscaping companies located on Batavia
Street are using both Freedom Avenue and American Way for employee parking. These
workers arrive early in the morning and utilize much of the available on-street parking

before many local business employees even arrive. This results in hardship for the local
businesses, especially when much of the external parking demands are long-term (all
day.) Moreover, nearly all of the businesses along Freedom Avenue have a parking lot
which is at or close to capacity during the day, requiring customer to rely on parking on-

street that is often unavailable. This becomes a point of con�ention for area businesses
when much of the available curbside parking is taken up by businesses from outside the
area.
The photograph above illustrates the typically high level of parking demand in the subject
area during the day, which is further exacerbated by the parking intrusion from outside
the area.
The proposed overnight parking restriction are not expected to have a negative impact
on local businesses since it would go into effect after their closing. The proponent has
requested parking restrictions between 8:OOPM and 7:OOAM which is after most
businesses in the study area are closed. The start time of the restriction could be adjusted
to accommodate any businesses in the area that are open later than 8:00 PM. Street
sweeping operations in the study area are Wednesdays from 3:00 to 6:00 AM. The
proposed overnight parking restrictions would allow for the replacement of the existing
street sweeping signs, which will not add to area sign pollution.
Staff has determined that the request has merit and respectFully recommends that the
Traffic Commission approve the proposed overnight parking restriction (8:OOPM to
7:OOAM) on both sides of Freedom Avenue and both sides of American Way Street
between Fletcher Avenue and Freedom Avenue.
