9.b) Consider "No Parking" Signs on Olinda Trail between Scandia Trail (Hwy 97) and 209th St. N. . � Meeting Date: 12/21/2010 Agenda Item: � �. � City Council Agenda Report City of Scandia 14727 209�' St. North Scandia, MN 55073 (651) 433-2274 Action Requested: Consider asking Washington County to install "No Parking November 1 through April 1 from 2 AM to 7 AM" on Olinda Trail N. (CSAH 3) from Scandia Trail (US Highway 97) south to 209`h St. N., on both sides of the street. Deadline/ Timeline: N/A Background: • Parking has become an issue in the Village Center district with vehicles being left overnight and not being moved before the plow trucks come by. Vehicles can not enter the parking spots along Olinda Trail due to the piles of snow left behind from the plows going around the parked vehicles. Parking spots are needed along Olinda Trail during business hours for the downtown businesses and Elim Church. The County cannot make separate trips back to plow after the vehicles have been moved so these spots are lost until the plows return. • The City of Scandia's Ordinance #43 does not allow parking on City streets between 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. for more than 60 minutes. This applies to any street, road or byway of the City but does not apply to County or State owned roads. • Washington County Public Works Department will pay for and install "no parking" signs if the City Council makes a request through adoption of a resolution. • County staff recommends that the parking ban be from 2:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. to ensure that they will be completely finished plowing Olinda Trail before vehicles may park there. Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council request placement of the signs. Attachments/ • Map Materials provided: .
