Background
Fenwick High School completed its 350-space parking garage in 2020. In a typical year, Fenwick purchases 265 student permits. Village staff met with Fenwick High School representatives to discuss parking permits and the plan to replace S4 on-street (student parking or SPP) permit areas. Fenwick representatives confirmed they no longer need the S4 on-street permit parking.
It should be noted that if Fenwick sells out of the permits in their parking garage, the Village is able to provide an additional 79 permitted parking spaces in parking lots SB4 and SB5, located along South Boulevard.
The following summarizes the proposed changes to the parking restrictions in the vicinity of Fenwick High School, as recommended by the Transportation Commission:
A. Pleasant Street, from Oak Park Avenue to Ridgeland Avenue:
Replacement of all six (6) SPP restrictions with 2hr parking 9 AM - 5 PM Monday - Saturday. In addition, the two (2) No parking 8 am -10 am restrictions on Pleasant street, between Scoville Avenue and East Avenue are to be replaced with 2hr parking, 9 am - 5 pm, Monday - Saturday. This change will make the parking restrictions consistent throughout Pleasant Street. In addition, a 2hr restriction on Pleasant Street will discourage vehicles from parking all day.
B. Randolph Street, from Oak Park Avenue to Ridgeland Avenue:
Replacement of all nine (9) SPP restrictions with no parking 8 am - 10 am Monday - Friday. In addition, the two (2) 2hr parking restrictions on the south side of Randolph Street, between East Avenue and Wesley Avenue, are to be replaced with no parking, 8 am - 10 am, Monday - Friday.
C. Washington Boulevard, from Oak Park Avenue to Ridgeland Avenue:
Replacement of five (5) out of the six (6) SPP restrictions to residential permit parking, 8 am - 4 pm, Monday - Friday. The other SPP restrictions on the south side of Washington Boulevard, between Scoville Avenue and East Avenue, are proposed to be replaced with Y6 overnight permit parking, 10 pm - 6 am. This will allow extra parking spaces for residents to park their vehicles near their residences.
D. Adams Street, from Oak Park Avenue to Ridgeland Avenue:
Replacement of four (4) SPP restrictions with no parking, 8 am - 10 am, Monday - Friday. The two (2) 9 am - 5 pm, Monday - Friday restrictions located on the north side of Adams Street, west of East Avenue to the alley and east of Scoville Avenue to the alley, are to be replaced with no parking 8 am - 10 am, Monday - Friday.
