To amend Section 12-101, Prohibited on certain streets at all times, Article V, Stopping, Standing and Parking, Chapter 12, Motor Vehicles and Traffic, of the City of Plano Code of Ordinances to establish no parking zones along sections of the east, west, and south sides of Rigsbee 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 Ordinance No. 2023-9-21

Rigsbee Drive is a thirty-six-foot-wide collector street with apartments on the east and north sides and a residential neighborhood and commercial businesses on the west and south sides.

Apartment residents continuously park their vehicles on both sides of Rigsbee Drive instead of utilizing on-site parking lots, thus obstructing sight distance and creating ingress and egress safety issues for residents and businesses on the west side of the street.

The Transportation Engineering Division evaluated this location, concurs with the ingress/egress safety concerns, and recommends an amendment to a certain section of the Code of Ordinances to expand the existing no parking zones along and upon the east, west, and south sides of Rigsbee Drive.

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 item to establish no parking zones along certain sections of Rigsbee Drive supports the City's Strategic Plan Critical Success Factor of Safe, Vibrant Neighborhoods.
