An Ordinance Approving Changes to Meter Hours for On-Street Parking Spaces on the 800 Block of Lake Street

 

End

Overview

Overview

The Village has received a request from the businesses located near 803 Lake Street to change to metered parking spaces adjacent to their businesses with no time limits to 15 minute metered parking spaces.

 

Body

Staff Recommendation

Adopt the Ordinance.

 

Fiscal Impact

Two meters will need to be reprogrammed, painted red and decals replaced.  Funds are budgeted annually for maintenance of single-spaced meters in the Parking Fund.

 

Background

The Village has received a request from the businesses located near 803 Lake Street to change two metered parking spaces adjacent to their businesses with no time limits to 15 minute metered parking spaces.

 

This is a practice used in many business districts to provide a short-term parking option for those customers looking to make a quick trip to the businesses in the area.

 

Staff has reviewed the area and after 10 a.m. the meters on the 800 block of Lake Street are filled and remain that way until early evening.  It is appropriate to change two meters to short-term parking to help facilitate quick trips to those businesses.

 

Alternatives

The Village Board could direct staff to conduct addition research or suggest an alternative recommendation.
