Approve Establishment of No Parking Zones along Kings Road West
of Minnewashta Parkway - PW056G
Staff has received complaints and concerns over the on-street parking along Kings
Road with the introduction of the new fishing pier and beach on Lake Minnewashta
across from Roundhouse Park. Vehicles have been parking along both sides of Kings
Road thus obstructing visibility and impeding turning movements at the intersection of
Kings Road and Minnewashta Parkway. The portion of Kings Road between
Minnewashta Parkway and Country Oaks Road has been recently upgraded to a
standard urban residential street (28 feet wide with concrete curb and gutter). Parking
along one side of the street will still provide adequate street width for two lanes of
traffic. No parking signs exist along the south side of Kings Road, however, I was
unable to find any resolution establishing no parking zones for along the street. Staff's
other concern is that vehicles are parking close to the intersection along the north side
of Kings thus blocking visibility at the intersection of Kings Road and Minnewashta
Parkway.
Staff has discussed the parking issues with the Park and Recreation Department and
recommended establishing no parking zones along the south side of Kings Road for
the first 500 feet west of Minnewashta Parkway and the first 50 feet along the north
side of Kings Road west of Minnewashta Parkway. There is a new city parking lot in
Roundhouse Park that will adequately address the parking needs for the park and
beach use. A sidewalk and trail connect the parking lot to Minnewashta Parkway
Al ENGINEERING COPY along the north side of Kings Road.
:d It is therefore recommended that the City Council approve a resolution establishing no
1 No. _ parking zones along the south side of Kings Road for the first 500 feet west of
)veci by City Engineer Minnewas.hta Parkway and along the north side of Kings Road for the first 50 feet
l 8 - 5 - 99 ~ west of Mmnewashta Parkway.
