Body

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.

Background:
Victoria Drove is currently no parking; however, parents are sitting in their car during school drop-off and pick-up. Staff requests changing Victoria Drive from no parking to no stopping to better maintain traffic safety during school drop-off and pick-up activities.
Ashurst Drive does not currently have a parking restriction. A no parking restriction is proposed for Ashurst Drive in response to concerns voiced from the public at a public hearing about potential parking activity on Ashurst Drive when the View High Sports Complex is completed and in operation. The View High Sports Complex has been approved for development along the south side of Ashurst Drive with parking lots in service to the sports activities on both sides of Ashurst Drive. This on street parking restriction will ensure that users are not parking on the street, congesting traffic, parking in the adjacent neighborhood, or obstructing the crosswalks. Parking lots are available and should be used as shown on the development plan.
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.
