Establishes no parking zones along Bravura Drive, Dolente Drive, and Veloce Drive

RECOMMENDED ACTION:Adoption of Ordinances

ITEM SUMMARY

To amend Section 12-101, Prohibited on certain streets at all times, of Article V, Stopping, Standing and Parking, of Chapter 12, Motor Vehicles and Traffic, of the City of Plano Code of Ordinances to establish no parking zones along one side of Bravura Drive, Dolente Drive, and Veloce 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. 2024-11-6

BACKGROUND

Bravura Drive, Dolente Drive, and Veloce Drive are twenty-six (26) foot wide residential streets serving single-family residences in the community located next to the East Plano Islamic Center.

 

At various times of the day, on-street parking by East Plano Islamic Center patrons impedes the flow of traffic and creates sight distance issues for residents and guests exiting driveways.

 

The Home Owner's Association of this neighborhood requested a no parking zone in order to improve traffic safety and traffic flow.  More than 70 percent of the homeowners in this neighborhood agreed through a petition process with the implementation of no parking zones.

 

The Transportation Engineering Division evaluated the neighborhood request and recommends an amendment to the Code of Ordinances to establish no parking zones along certain sections of Bravura Drive, Dolente Drive, and Veloce Drive.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY/STRATEGIC GOALS

This item may impact revenue collected from 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 supports the City's Strategic Plan Critical Success Factors of Safe, Vibrant Neighborhoods and Multi-Modal Transportation and Mobility Solutions.
