On February 16, 2000, the City Council considered a report on the
subject parking restrictions. At that meeting the City Council
asked that a formal Resolution be prepared and brought back before
the City Council at a future meeting. The City Council also asked
that all affected property owners be sent a letter advising of
this intended action.
DISCUSSION
A. Bonnie View Street: Description
1. Bonnie View Street intersects with and extends north of
Charles Street, just east of Magnolia Street.
2. Bonnie View Street is a narrow street or alley, having a
right -of -way width in some areas of only twenty feet (201).
3. At several locations traffic flow is restricted to one
direction at a time, with opposing traffic yielding and
waiting their turn to use the road.
4. Bonnie View Street has a comparatively steep slope, tight
turns and poor visibility.
5. In spite of the narrowness, curves, slopes and visibility
problems attendant to this street, there have been no
parking restrictions established on Bonnie View Street.

B. Bonnie View Street: Park
1. Due to the narrowness of the pavement, there are few areas,
if any, where parking is possible on the pavement.
2. In a few locations there is an unpaved area adjacent to the
pavement, which may or may not be within the street right -
of -way, where vehicles park.
3. It is likely that when there is an occasion which generates
a need for overflow guest parking, vehicles park on the
pavement impeding the flow of traffic.
4. Vehicles parked on the pavement on Bonnie View Street, will
or could impede or prevent access by emergency vehicles.
C. Parking Restriction
It is recommended that the subject Resolution be adopted
establishing a "NO PARKING ON PAVEMENT" zone along the entire
length of Bonnie View Street. In order to provide some
flexibility in application, the Resolution allows for the
placement of signs along all or any portion of Bonnie View
Street, as deemed necessary by the Public Works Director to
improve traffic safety.
D. Notice
The residents at, and the owners of, properties affected by
this proposed action were sent a letter advising them that the
City Council would be considering establishing parking
restrictions on this street at their meeting of March 15, 2000.
