body
Purpose
The purpose of this memo is to provide information to the Franklin Board of Mayor and Aldermen (BOMA) concerning Ordinance 2018-52.
Background
City staff was asked by a resident to investigate parking concerns on 7th Avenue North Between West Main Street and Fair Street. The current pavement width is between 30’-32’. To accommodate parking on both sides of the street, the pavement width needs to be a minimum of 38’ (2~11’ travel lanes and 2~8’ parking lanes). Staff proposes to implement a new pavement marking plan and prohibit parking on the northeast side of the roadway as shown in the attached exhibit.
Financial Impact
The cost would be less than $5,000 to perform this work and would be paid out of the Street Department’s annual budget.
Recommendation
rec
Staff recommends approval of Ordinance 2018-52.
