RESCIND PRIOR DENIAL AND APPROVE PETITION FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT
OF A RESTRICTED RESIDENTIAL PARKING ZONE - 500-600 BLOCKS OF E.
EWING
Mr. Leszczynski advised that Mr. Michael P. Meeks, Director,
Division of Engineering, has advised that at the request of the
Petitioners of the 500 & 600 blocks of Ewing Avenue, the Bureau
of Traffic and Lighting reviewed their previous recommendation to
deny the residential parking restriction. Mr. Meeks noted that
the previous calculations were based on a twenty foot (20')
parking space or approximately twenty-nine (29) spaces. Because
of the practicality of parallel parking and the geometry of Ewing
Avenue, only twenty-four (24) spaces can actually be provided.
Using this new figure, a residential parking zone was warranted
in seven (7) out of twelve (12) hours. With this in mind, it is
now the recommendation to approve a restricted residential
parking zone for the 500-600 blocks of Ewing Avenue. Therefore,
Mrs. DeClercq made a motion that the prior denial be rescinded
and the recommendation as submitted today be accepted and the
Petition for the Establishment of a Restricted Residential
Parking Zone in the 500-600 block of Ewing Avenue be approved.
