Body
Issue/Request:
An Ordinance amending Chapter 29; Traffic and Motor Vehicles, of the Code of Ordinances for the City of Lee's Summit, Missouri, by revising Appendix B; Schedule of Stopping, Standing and Parking Restrictions, for certain streets and segments of streets located in the City of Lee's Summit, Missouri.
Key Issues:
These changes to Appendix B, Schedule of Stopping, Standing and Parking Restrictions, were requested by staff as well as residents in the interest of public safety and traffic operations.
Proposed City Council Motion:
FIRST MOTION: I move for a second reading of an Ordinance amending Chapter 29; Traffic and Motor Vehicles, of the Code of Ordinances for the City of Lee's Summit, Missouri, by revising Appendix B; Schedule of Stopping, Standing and Parking Restrictions, for certain streets and segments of streets located in the City of Lee's Summit, Missouri.
SECOND MOTION: I move for adoption of an Ordinance amending Chapter 29; Traffic and Motor Vehicles, of the Code of Ordinances for the City of Lee's Summit, Missouri, by revising Appendix B; Schedule of Stopping, Standing and Parking Restrictions, for certain streets and segments of streets located in the City of Lee's Summit, Missouri.
Background:
Johnson Street – These parking restrictions are in response to the opening of Green Street. The west side of Johnson Street will be restricted to 2-hour parking where parking spaces have been designated on-street similar to other downtown street parking, and the east side of Johnson Street will be No Parking anytime. Johnson Street is not wide enough to allow for parking on both sides of the street and residents have already seen issues pulling into and out of driveways since the opening of Green Street.
Impact/Analysis:
This amendment should establish the No Parking and No Stopping restrictions in the interest of traffic operations and public safety. The inclusion in Schedule B will improve public reference and a clear record for these restrictions.
Timeline:
Not Applicable
