TO: Board of Public Works
THROUGH: Kara Boyles, Ph.D., P.E., City Engineer
FROM: Charlotte Brach, Project Engineer
SUBJECT: 500 Block W. Jefferson Residential Parking by Permit TR21-104
DATE: January 31, 2022
Purpose
The Department of Public Works received a
petition to establish a residential parking
zone for the western half of the south side of
the street on the 500 block of West
Jefferson.
Existing Conditions
Currently parking is unrestricted here.
Requirements of City Ordinance
Chapter 20, Article 10 of the South Bend Code of Ordinances outlines the requirements
for residential parking zone designation. In order to initiate a parking study, 2/3 of the
lawful residents of the residential area must return a signed petition requesting residential
parking within defined boundaries. In order for a residential parking zone to be warranted,
the following must be observed during a parking study:
1.Non-resident vehicles occupy 25% of the total spaces available on the publi c
streets within the residential area.
2.At least 75% of the total parking spaces in the residential area are occupied by
motor vehicles.
Parking Study Finds
The petition received was signed by 100% of the residents within the residential
boundaries, which were defined as the western half of the south side of the street on the
500 block of West Jefferson. There is only one residence within this boundary. This
segment was observed at 1-hour intervals between 6:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. on Friday,
January 7, 2022. The results are provided in Table 1. As shown in Table 1, below, the
criteria are only met 5 out of the 13 time periods the segment was observed. Looking at
this as an extension of the residential parking zone on the north side of the street on this
block of Jefferson, it can be reasonably justified that the criteria is met for a residential
parking zone. The eastern half of this block on the south side of the street is in front of a
commercial property, so continuing the residential parking zone from the north side of
the street to the western half of the south side would cover all of the residences on this
block.
We deliver services that empower everyone to thrive!!
Recommendation
Based on the findings of the study, the criteria for establishing a residential parking zone
is met, and it is therefore recommended that a residential parking by permit zone be
established on this segment for Monday through Friday, 6am-6pm.
