Russell Creek Drive is a thirty-six-foot wide minor collector street with Rice Middle School and Russell Creek Park on the north side and residences on the south side.

The principal at Rice Middle School and a Plano Public Safety Officer requested to prohibit on-street parking on the north side of the street to improve safety and flow of pedestrians and traffic around the school before and after school hours.

The Transportation Engineering Division evaluated the location and recommends an amendment to a certain section of the Code of Ordinances to establish a no parking zone along and upon the north side of Russell Creek Drive.

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, to prohibit parking on a certain section of Russell Creek Drive, supports the City's Strategic Plan Critical Success Factors of Safe, Vibrant Neighborhoods.
