BUSINESS OF THE CITY COUNCIL

AGENDA STATEMENT
III Item No. I (P
For Meeting of March 17. 1998
ITEM TITLE: Revisions to Yakima Municipal Code Section 9.50.050,
Parking Prohibited at All Times on Certain Streets
SUBMITTED BY: Chris Waarvick, Acting Director of Public Works
CONTACT PERSON/TELEPHONE: Bill Quitta, Traffic Associate, 575 -6005
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
Staff respectfully requests the following ordinance revision to the Municipal Code be approved by City
Council. Yakima Municipal Code, Section 9.50.050, 'should be revised to include sections of 10th
Street, "B" Street, and Lincoln Avenue that were impacted by the•Gateway Project. Last fall parking
was made physically impossible by the project's road striping that was completed on these sections
of the one -way streets. "No Parking" signs were installed on the north and south sides of "B" Street
and Lincoln Avenue between 8th Street and 10th Street, on the east side of 10th Street between "A"
Street and Fair Avenue, and on the newly constructed portions of Fair Avenue. The parking
restriction on Fair Avenue specifically should continue on both sides from the Gateway area south to
Pacific Avenue.
iti ith the existing street widths, curb and gutter, and center left turn lanes, parking should be restricted
both sides of 18th Street from Nob Hill Boulevard to Pacific Avenue and on both sides of Pacific
Avenue from 18th Street to Fair Avenue. Plus, due to the newly installed traffic signal at Pacific
Avenue and Fair Avenue, "No Parking" is recommended for the north side of Pacific Avenue from Fair
Avenue to 9th Street.
Davis High School has requested that Council prohibit parking on the east side of 7th Avenue between
Spruce and Pine. The school district buses cannot maneuver properly through this section of street
with vehicles parked on both sides. Staff reviewed the area and agrees that parking should be
removed from one side of this block of 7th Avenue. Also, as part of the public hearing decision on the
Smith - Pearson Development, the restriction of parking is required on both sides of the new one -block
cul -de -sac section of Castlevale Road east of No. 40th Avenue, the newly constructed section of No.
39th Avenue from this section of Castlevale to the improved section of Kern Road, and on this same
section of Kern Road between No. 40th Avenue and East Powerhouse Road.

Dear Ms. Willson:
I have a concern about the safety of the students at Davis High School which involves the traffic
congesdon on Seventh Avenue between Spruce and Pine streets. Currently, parkin is allowed on
oth sides of Se .avenue in this area, which creates traffic congestion. School buses and
tornobiies. which need to pass through this area. have a difficult time. In addirion, there is
onsderablle pedeszn an caffic at the begiinning and the ending of the school day.
Because of the hazardous conditions on Seventh Avenue, between Spruce and Pine, I, am
requesting. the City post "No Parking, Stopping, or Standing" signs on.the east side of Seventh
Avenue, bet.veen Spruce and Pine sa
'Thank you for your consideration on this matter.
Sincere:

YAKIMA CITY COUNCIL
129 North 2nd Street
Yakima, Wa 98901
Dear Council Members:
In the early part of March of this year portions of our curb were
repainted yellow. I requested this service because.the previous
paint job had faded away. This curve was previously painted
yellow from 413 North 5th Avenue to beyond 417 North 5th Avenue
to the telephone pole. This yellow curb has been there since we •
have lived here and beyond. There should also be a NO PARKING
sign at the telephone pole.
Because. of the narrowness of the 5th Avenue and the traffic it
receives, especially during the work day and early evening,
parking vehicles on or near this curve makes it difficult for
large trucks to make it around this bend. On many occasions the
large Tractor & Trailer trucks heading north have scraped their
rear tires on the curb at this bend.
It is my request that the City paint the curb beyond what it is
now which would allow all vehicles, large and small, to clear the
bend and not force any vehicles in the center lane to slow down
or move beyond the center division in to on- coming traffic. We
have had some cars climb the curb on to the planter strip to
avoid side - collision. At this bend of the Avenue, the planter
strip in front of 417 North 5th Avenue and beyond is only two -
feet wide which would then force cars on to private property or
on to the sidewalk which would then endanger foot traffic.
On March 9th, the Traffic Department painted over (deleted)
approximately forty feet of yellow curbing in front of 417 North
5th Avenue which had previously been yellow for years. I would
like to see the forty feet they blacked out repainted yellow.
Your prompt response to this matter can save lives. It is a
matter of time that something will happen...It just means
painting the curb a few more feet and, if it is possible, adding •
another NO PARKING 'gn would insure such safety.
