Title
AUTHORIZE INSTALLATION OF REGULATORY SIGNS FOR PARKING RESTRICTIONS ON BOTH SIDES OF DUNKIRK STREET AND 122ND COURT EAST OF LAKES PARKWAY
Background
On July 27, 2015, the City received a petition from residents who live on Dunkirk Street and 122nd Court east of Lakes Parkway. The petition was signed by 25 of the 42 parcels (60%) and asked the City Council to consider parking restrictions on both sides of Dunkirk Street and 122nd Court from June 1st thru Labor Day between 10 AM and 8 PM.
