SUBJECT: Consider Establishing Parking Restrictions to Facilitate
Street Sweeping
BACKGROUND '
On September 8, 1993, the City Council considered a draft
resolution to establish parking restrictions in order to ,
facilitate street sweeping. The matter was continued to
allow staff an opportunity to coordinate this proposal
with efforts to revise the street sweeping schedule to be
more compatible with the refuse collection schedule.
DISCUSSION
A. Committee Review
On October 4, 1993, the proposed street sweeping
parking restrictions were discussed by the
Transportation and Streets Committee. The Committee
concurred with the views of staff that a parking
prohibition during periods of time when the streets
,CTION:
are to be swept, would greatly improve the
effectiveness of the street sweeping program. As
previously discussed, such restrictions are mentioned
By,—
by the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) as one means to improve the quality of
stormwater run -off.
The Committee recommends that the City proceed with
the implementation of this program. In order to
assure its effectiveness, the Committee also
recommended that the proposed parking restrictions be
designated as "TOW AWAY" zones.

B. Street Sweeping Days
Consistent with the terms of the Contract for Street
Sweeping, the contractor provides street sweeping
services to the majority of the City every other
Tuesday or Thursday. A designated portion of the
downtown area is swept every Thursday.
Staff and the Contractor have developed a revised
street sweeping map and schedule (Exhibit 1) which is
more compatible with the refuse collection schedule.
A summary of the interface between these two services
is shown as follows:
Trash Pick -up Day
Tues - Wed - Thur
Fri - Mon
C. Holidays
Street Sweeping Day
Thursday
Tuesday
1. Street Sweeping: Very few holidays occur on
Tuesday or Thursday. However, whenever there is a
holiday on a scheduled street sweeping day, those
street sweeping routes are swept the following
day.
2. Refuse Collection: Whenever a holiday occurs
during the week, all of the refuse collection days
following the holiday are delayed one day.
3. Delayed Trash Collection: In some instances a
delay in the refuse collection day due to a
holiday, will result in the refuse being collected
after the scheduled street sweeping time. It is
recommended that the street sweeping schedule not
be adjusted to accommodate these changes in the
refuse collection schedule. For a few times each
year this may result in a given street being swept
just prior to the collection of trash. If this
should become a problem, other options could be
tried.
D. Street Sweeping Hours
The street sweeping times set forth in Exhibit 1 are
those times deemed to be the most compatible with the
demands and requirements of the street sweeping
program. This schedule shows the downtown area
prksvep2

designated for weekly sweeping to be swept every
Thursday morning, and all other areas to be swept
every other Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. This
schedule will facilitate the sweeping of the
commercial areas, industrial parks, State Highways and
arterial streets at other times of the day.
E. Resolution
The attached resolution (Exhibit 3) authorizes the
posting of signs prohibiting parking during designated
hours and days to facilitate the street sweeping
schedule.
F. Parking Prohibition
1. Implementation: It is recommended that signs be
posted restricting parking in residential areas of
the City pursuant to the above mentioned
Resolution.
2. Time Periods for
restricted parking
chart on Exhibit
follows:
• Tuesday -- 8 a.
• Tuesday -- Noon
• Thursday -- Noon
Restricted Parking: The
times, as set forth in the
1, are recommended to be as
m. to Noon
to 4 p.m.
to 4 p.m.
3. Parking Restricted Every Week: The parking
restriction would be valid every week even though
the street sweeping schedule for most areas of the
City provides for sweeping only every other week.
4. Sign Copy: Attached as Exhibit 2 is an example of
the recommended NO PARKING signs to be used.
5. Sign Locations: Signs will be installed at
entrances to identified neighborhoods and at other
strategic locations as determined necessary. It
is the intent of staff to work with the Sheriff's
Department to develop the most efficient
deployment of the signs required to provide
adequate notification.

for the establishment of parking restrictions, and the
removal of vehicle from areas so posted, for the
purpose of street sweeping.
