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 the north and south sides of Grafton Lane, 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. 2023-9-23

Grafton Lane is a twenty-four-foot-wide residential street with a hike and bike trail on the north side and a senior apartment complex on the south side.

When vehicles are parked along both sides of the street, it impedes flow of traffic and sight distance of pedestrians who cross at the intersection of Grafton Lane and Hermosa Drive.

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 the north and south sides of Grafton Lane.

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 Grafton Lane supports the City's Strategic Plan Critical Success Factor of Safe, Vibrant Neighborhoods.
