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 and west sides of Talbert 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. 2023-9-22

Talbert Drive is a thirty-six-foot-wide collector street with a charter school at the end of the cul-de-sac and commercial businesses along both sides of the street.

During school drop-off and pick-up times, a carpool line for the charter school queues up on Talbert Drive and Mapleshade Lane due to insufficient stacking on site.

With the presence of on-street parking along either side of the street, the carpool line impedes the flow of traffic as well as ingress/egress for businesses along the street.

The Transportation Engineering Division evaluated this location and recommends an amendment to a certain section of the Code of Ordinances to establish no parking zones along sections of the east and west sides of Talbert 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 Talbert Drive supports the City's Strategic Plan Critical Success Factor of Safe, Vibrant Neighborhoods.
