Traffic Commission 6801 Delmar Boulevard, University City, Missouri 63130, Phone: (314) 862-6767, Fax: (314) 863-9146 Ms. Schuham asked about how the law is enforced, if the commercial vehicle has no identification on the outside of the vehicle. Officer Margul explained that if the Police ticket a vehicle that has no identification outside, the owner of the vehicle needs to speak with the Watch Commander at the City Hall and provide verification that he or she was parked on the block providing a service for a resident, and the parking violation should be waived. Ms. Schuham stated that all options have been explored and if the Traffic Commission approves this petition, it can then be forwarded for City Council’s approval. There was a short discussion regarding the limit of the hours and the 2-hour window and Commissioner Henderson asked for the commission to vote on Option B.: Residential Parking Permit from 8am – 2pm, allowing parking for 2-hours, Monday to Friday, as originally submitted and as agreed by seven (7) out of nine (9) residents on the block. Commissioner Wofsey made a motion to recommend to City Council that the Petition for a Residential Parking Permit Plan in the 200 block of Linden Ave (east side only) restricting parking to residents only from 8am to 2pm and also allowing general parking during that time period for no longer than 2-hours, be granted and the Traffic Commission recommend to the City Council that the Municipal Code, Residential Parking Permit Plan be amended to allow that petition to go forward, seconded by Commissioner Nichols. Councilmember Carr described the petition as motion was made, and asked for confirmation to see if the description was in line with the residents’ petition. Her description was confirmed as follows: anyone is able to park on the restricted area after 2pm and before 8am, and between 8am and 2pm, general public can park only for 2- hours, and the residents of the block have a place to park and are not limited to 2-hour parking.
