Establish a no parking zone along Huntington 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 a no parking zone along Huntington 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. 2024-10-11

BACKGROUND

Huntington Drive is a twenty-six-foot-wide residential street with a condominium complex on the east side and residential neighborhoods on the west side.

 

When vehicles are parked along both sides of the street, it impedes the flow of traffic and sight distance of motorists exiting the condominium complex or turning from Newcastle Circle onto Huntington Drive.

 

Staff reached out to homeowners in the neighborhood and verified support for the proposed parking restriction.

 

The Transportation Engineering Division recommends an amendment to the City’s Code of Ordinances to establish a no parking zone along and upon the west side of Huntington 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.
