The space is necessary to accommodate parking for the school buses <br />as part of a transportation program that the school implemented. The school already <br />installed temporary “no parking signs” in the specified area. <br /> <br />It was stated that at the July, 2006 meeting, the traffic commission approved parking <br />prohibitions on one side north and southbound Jackson Ave. from Dartmouth to Tulane. <br />Currently, there are no temporary signs indicating this prohibition. The Council has not been <br />presented the previously approved parking restrictions, pending the consideration of this <br />additional request. <br /> <br />Sgt. King stated that results from the transportation program that the school implemented are <br />good. The police stated that fighting between students at the end of the school day has <br />decreased. <br /> <br />Councilmember Wagner stated that in the past students from University City High School have <br />complained about the lack of parking spaces. Dartmouth and Tulane are public streets in the <br />neighborhood but they are full of resident’s parked cars. <br /> <br />The request from the School District representatives stated that there are ample parking <br />spaces in the Jackson Park School parking lot for teachers and students. <br /> <br />Mr. Hyman questioned if the City has received any complaints since the beginning of the <br />school year. It was clarified that the City has not received any complaints from students nor <br />residents regarding parking restrictions. <br />V:\WP51\Mariela-Projects\Traffic Commission\minutes\2006\Minutes 9-13-06.doc <br /> <br />
