Ordinance No. 2020-10-9: To amend Section 12-101, Prohibited on certain streets at all times, of Article V, Stopping, Standing and Parking, Chapter 12, Motor Vehicles and Traffic, of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Plano, Texas to establish a no parking zone on certain sections of Bradshaw Drive, within the city limits of the City of Plano; and providing a penalty clause, a repealer clause, a severability clause, a savings clause, a publication clause, and an effective date. Adopted

A citizen reached out to Transportation Engineering Division to report a number of vehicles parked on the east side of Bradshaw Drive near its intersection with Bridgewater Street.  These vehicles obstruct the view of motorists turning onto Bradshaw Drive from Bridgewater Street.  Bradshaw Drive is a 26’ wide residential street that serves as one of the access points along Plano Parkway for three subdivisions – Hudson Heights 3 and 4, and Parkway Heights 3. 

Transportation Engineering staff visited the site several times and confirmed that these vehicles are persistently parked in the area and are creating a hazardous situation.  Staff recommends the proposed parking restrictions to improve visibility and traffic flow in the community.

There is no residence fronting the section of Bradshaw Drive where the proposed parking restrictions are being considered; therefore, a neighborhood survey is not required.

This item may impact revenue collected from parking fines due to the implementation of parking restrictions; however, the exact change in revenue is indeterminable and will have minimal impact on the General Fund budget.  

Approval of this ordinance to establish restrictions along certain sections of the east side of Bradshaw Drive supports the City's Strategic Plan Critical Success Factor of Safe, Vibrant Neighborhoods.
