Title

AUTHORIZE TEMPORARY REMOVAL OF PARKING RESTRICTIONS ON 103RD LANE AND NATIONAL STREET FOR A CENTENNIAL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL EVENT ON OCTOBER 5, 2016 (RAIN DATE: OCTOBER 12, 2016)

 

Background

The City of Blaine received a letter on June 10, 2016, from Kathy Kaiser, Principal of Centennial Elementary School, requesting the temporary removal of parking restrictions on 103rd Lane and National Street in order to allow parking on those streets from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM on October 5, 2016, with a rain date of October 12, 2016.  The school will be participating in the Centennial Stroll during that time period and expects a need for additional parking to accommodate observers of the event.  City Council authorization is required for the temporary lifting of parking restrictions.  Over the past several years, City Council has authorized the temporary lifting of restrictions for this and other events held at Centennial Elementary School.

 

City Council tabled this item at their July 14, 2016 Council meeting and asked staff to contact the school on the need for this request with the parking improvements being made on the Centennial campus this summer.  The Principal responded that she was not certain how the daytime parking would be handled this coming school year, so she would still like this request approved for this fall in case the onsite parking is not available. 

 

Recommendation

By motion, authorize the temporary removal of parking restrictions on National Street and 103rd Lane from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM on October 5, 2016, with a rain date of October 12, 2016.
