Overview
Overview
The proposed ordinance will amend some parking restrictions within the Parking Pilot Program area, allowing for a one-hour time limit on residential blocks adjacent to or within 500 feet from a business district and allow staff to add, alter and/or remove time limits on blocks within the Parking Pilot Program. Currently, only three blocks within the entire Parking Pilot Program, have requested the type of change.

Recommendation
Recommendation
The Transportation Commission recommended that multiple time limits be introduced in the Parking Pilot Program area and that staff have an opportunity to choose between 1 hour, 45 minute, 30 minute, and/or 15 minute time limits on residential blocks adjacent to or within 500 feet from a business district in order to quickly respond to resident parking needs.
The Village staff appreciates the flexibility being proposed by the Parking Commission but instead, is recommending that a one-hour time limit be instituted on residential blocks adjacent to or within 500 feet from a business district and allow staff to add, alter, and/or remove time limits on blocks within the Parking Pilot Program area pursuant to the Manual of Parking and Traffic Guidelines, Policies and Procedures (Parking and Traffic Process to Address Citizen Requests). The proposed one-hour change will be easier to administer than the various time-limits noted above by the Transposration Commission. At the February 24, 2020 Transportation Commission meeting, staff reviewed the concern and staff's recommendation to keep the recommendation to a one (1) - hour increment. The Commission and they are supportive of staff's recommended ordinance.
