Residential Parking Permit Petition for the 200 block of Linden Avenue Commissioner Henderson presented the request for a Residential Parking Permit Petition for the east side of the 200 block of Linden Ave, and asked if there were any residents to speak regarding the request. Rebecca Schuham - 218 Linden Ave. Mrs. Schuham has lived in Linden Ave for 28 years. Mrs. Schuham explained that seven (7) residents signed the petition to change the current parking restriction which was recently posted on this block of Linden Ave. The petition was submitted to allow parking for two (2) hours and restrict parking from 8am to 2pm, Monday to Friday, except by residential permit. The petition was reviewed by the University City Police Department- UCPD and this department recommended that parking restriction be implemented from 8am to 5 pm, and the 2-hour parking be eliminated from the petition. Mrs. Gutierrez explained the current parking restriction as “No Parking from 8am to 2pm Monday thru Saturday”. This restriction is currently in force and signs have been posted to reflect the parking restriction accurately. Additionally, Mrs. Gutierrez explained that the signs recently removed from this block of Linden were installed many years ago and reflected a parking restriction that was never codified in the Municipal Code, therefore a clarification was necessary at this time to fulfill the parking needs of the residents and to keep the consistency with the Clayton municipality, as recommended by the UCPD. The recommended approval by City staff for the Residential Parking Permit on the east side of the 200 block of Linden Ave is as follows: “No Parking between 8am – 5pm Monday – Friday, except by residential permit.” The east side of the 200 block of Linden Ave is located within the City of University City boundary and the properties located on west side are located in the City of Clayton. The City of Clayton has a Residential Parking Permit system in place on the west side of Linden Ave, allowing parking for 1 hour, and restricting parking from 8 am to 5 pm, Monday – Friday, except by permit, for Residential Zone 1. Mrs. Schuham is concerned about the Traffic Commission recommending approval of the petition changing the hours from 8am-2pm to 8am-5pm as recommended by UCPD. She explained that without the 2-hour allowed parking within the restricted timeframe and an extension of the restricted hours until 5 p.m., her guests arriving in multiple vehicles would Traffic Commission Minutes – July 11, 2012 Page 4
