Parking Restriction along Asbury Ave between Forsyth and Lindell Blvd. Please find attached two (2) traffic requests to restrict parking on one side of Asbury Ave between Forsyth Blvd and Lindell Blvd. One is from Dana Mareshie resident at 7199 Forsyth received March 2, 2009 and the other submitted by Robert Petersen resident at 7201 Forsyth Blvd received March 4, 2009. One is requesting for the parking restriction to be implemented in the west side of the street and the other one for it to be implemented in the east side of the street. Currently, there is a “no parking” sign on the west side of the street but the restriction is not listed in the Municipal Code. Therefore, an ordinance needs to be passed in order for the sign to be enforced. Asbury Ave is 23.7 ft wide and according to the Introduction to Traffic Practices, a guidebook for Local Agencies, and AASHTO - American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, the standard for Curb Parking Restrictions recommends to at least restrict parking on one side of the street. There is a parking restriction on the east side of the street for Asbury Ave. between Northmoor Dr and Forsyth Blvd. The Public Work Department recommends restricting parking on one side of Asbury Ave between Forsyth Blvd and Lindell Blvd. 2. Request to remove No Parking restriction in front of 8350 Delcrest Dr. Please find attached a traffic request dated March 17, 2009 submitted by Alfred Ketsenburg, Facilities Manager of the Gladys & Henry Crown Center for Senior Living, located at 8350 Delcrest Dr. He is requesting to remove the parking restriction on the east side of Delcrest across the street from their building. He states that as a polling place, community center and residential building, parking demand exceeds the available parking spaces on their lot. Currently, parking is prohibited on Delcrest Drive on the north side thereof from its eastern intersection with Delmar Boulevard, from eight a.m. to five p.m. every day of the week except Sunday. Western portion on the west side from a point one hundred twenty-three (123) feet south of the south curb of Delmar to a point one hundred seventy-three (173) feet south of the south curb of Delmar, from eight a.m. to five p.m. every day of the week except Sunday.
