AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND CERTAIN SECTIONS OF THE INDEX OF SPECIAL LOCATIONS, SECTION 13.02 OF THE CODE OF GENERAL ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF BELOIT, RELATING TO THE REMOVAL PARKING ON THIRD STREET NEAR WEST GRAND AVENUE
Date:
March 19, 2018
Presenter:
Laura Pigatti Williamson Public Works Director
Department:
Public Works-Engineering
Overview/Background Information
The City received a request to remove parking along the west side of Third Street between West Grand Avenue and the southern entrance to the Ironworks South Parking Lot. The request was made by Drew Pennington, Director of Planning and Building Services for the City of Beloit due to obstructed sight lines and an increase in pedestrian traffic. As the City Council is aware, the YMCA recently opened at its new location near the south end of Third Street. With the the increase in employees and citizens frequenting the YMCA, the parking stalls along Third Street are utilized during a majority of the day. The increase in cars parking along the street reduces the sight lines for both the pedestrians and vehicle operators which could lead to potentially hazardous situations. Key Issues
1. The proposed ordinance removes parking along the west side of Third Street, north of West Grand Avenue which will allow for pedestrians and vehicles to see (and be seen) more clearly. 2. A sight triangle was calculated using the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) design guidelines and is depicted on the attached map. 3. The recommended clear zone extends from the intersection of West Grand Avenue north to the southern-most driveway to the Ironworks South Parking Lot. Objects that exceed 30 inches in height are considered hazards within a clear zone. 4. Traffic Review Committee recommended approval of removing the parking on the west side of Third Street with a vote of 4-0. Conformance with Strategic Plan
Approval of this agreement would conform with the stated purpose of the following strategic goal: Goal #1 – Create and Sustain Safe and Healthy Neighborhoods Goal #2 – Create and Sustain a High Performing Organization Goal #3 – Create and Sustain Economic and Residential Growth Goal #4 – Create and Sustain a High Quality of Life Goal #5 – Create and Sustain High Quality Infrastructure and Connectivity Goal #6 – Create and Sustain a Positive Image, Enhance Communications and Engage the Community Sustainability (If applicable, briefly comment on the sustainable long term impact of this policy or program related to how it will impact both the built and natural environment. Consider whether the policy of program will reduce dependence upon fossil fuels, reduce dependence on chemicals and other manufacturing substances that accumulate in nature, reduce dependence on activities that harm life sustaining eco-systems, and/or meet the hierarchy of present and future human needs fairly and efficiently. Write N/A if not applicable)
