This proposed change to Appendix B, Schedule of Stopping, Standing and Parking Restrictions, was approved for no parking on the South Side only by Bill No. 19-274. The Assistant Principal at Meadow Lane Elementary, Micah Fritz, requested NO PARKING on the north side of Victoria Dr as well in the interest of public safety and the safety of his students during school drop-off/Pick-up times :
Section 1: No Parking
• Victoria Drive from Independence Avenue to Reed Crossing, both sides
Impact/Analysis:
This amendment should clarify the No Parking restriction, and improve public reference and record for this section of roadway that has No Parking already established based on more recent actions of the City Traffic Engineer authorized by ordinances.
