Title
AUTHORIZE INSTALLATION OF NO PARKING SIGNS ON WEST 35W SERVICE DRIVE
Background
The City of Blaine has received numerous complaints about the number of semi and trailers being parked along this stretch of the West 35W Service Drive. Upon inspection by the Blaine Police and Engineering Departments the only way to keep the area clear and restore the shoulders is to prohibit parking within the right of way.
Installation of regulatory stop, yield and no parking signs requires authorization by City Council. The regulatory signs proposed meet warrants established in the Minnesota Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices. The proposed Council action will prohibit parking on the West 35W Service Drive from the 35W onramp to 85th Avenue.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the resolution.
