SUMMARY: The proposed redevelopment of 4 th Street and 5 th Street as "Green Streets" will provide
multiple benefits, including sustainability through drainage improvements, traffic calming, reduced
vehicular speeds, and implementation of the bicycle boulevards designated in the Non - Motorized
Transportation Plan adopted by City Council in 2007 The proposed angle parking along 4 th Street is
an effective method to narrow an overly wide residential roadway and reduce vehicle speeds,
allowing the corridor to operate suitably as a bicycle boulevard Because 4th Street is designated as
a bicycle boulevard, the back -in /head -out angle parking is recommended because this configuration
allows a driver exiting the stall to see the cyclists The Public Works Committee reviewed the
proposed parking configuration change at their December 7 th meeting
ATTACHMENTS: Resolution No 3161 , AHBL Parking Study Report
FISCAL IMPACTS (Include Budgeted Amount)
The parking reconfiguration is budgeted in the Kiwanis Park and Green Street project The change
will create 21 additional paid parking spaces serving as a revenue enhancement to the Parking Fund
