Renort on Area 7 Residential Permit Parlang Prouosed Changes - 2007
Request
There are two changes being proposed with Council Resolurion #3044090.
1) A petition signed by 67% of the abuttiug propeity owners was submitted to the City
requesting expansion of Residential Permit Parldng Area 7 in the vicinity of the United and
Children's Hospital Complex. The expansion would involve the following streets:
Both sides of Smith Avenue between West Seventh Street and Goodrich Avenue
Both sides of Goodrich Avenue from Smith Avenue to the dead-end east of Leech Street.
2) The current permit parking reshictions throughout Area 7 are posted as "Two Hour Parking,
Monday — Friday, 7:00 am.- 7:00 p.m., Except by Permit." This resolution would change the
permit parking restriction for all of Area 7 to "No Parking Except by Permit"
BackEround
Area 7 was established in 1991 due to United and Children's Hospital employees and the
businesses on West Seventh Street parking in the residenrial neighborhoods near West Seventh
and the hospital. Since then, there has been an increase in event parking within these
neighborhoods
Oripnal Permit Area —1991
Area residents allowed up to two guest permits and four vehicle permits.
"Two Hour Parking, Monday — Friday, 7:00 am.- 7:00 p.m., Except by PermiY' on the following
streets:
West side of Wilkin from Forbes to 200 feet south of McBoal
Both sides of Leech from McBoal to Goodrich
East side of Leech from McBoal to Forbes
Both sides of McBoal from Smith to Wilkin
South side of Forbes from Leech to Willan
Both sides of Forbes from Smith to Garfield
North side of Forbes from Smith to 101 feet east
Both sides of Douglas from Sturgis to the cul-de-sac 135 feet north of Forbes
Both sides of Garfield from Sturgis to Forbes
Both sides of Harrison from Garfield to 150 feet west
Revised Permit Area —1991 & 1996
Removed permit parking from the following streets at the request of the abutting property owner:
North side of McBoal from Smith to 160 feet east of Smith
North side of McBoal from Leech to 160 feet west of Leech
Neiehborhood complaints
The City of St. Paul has received complaints from residents in and around Area 7. The residents
have seen an increase in event parking in this neighborhood. Events at the Wild Arena,
(����t
particularly the Wild Hockey games have generated increased parldng, litter, noise, and traffic
congestion. The current Area 7 parl�ng reshictions have done little to discourage event pazking
since evening and weekend pazlang do not require a pemut.
The other complaint was the lack of enfarcement of the two hour pazking restriction. It is very
difficult for our pazking enfarcement officers to e�force the two hour time limit.
Parkina Studv
A parking study was conducted by Public Works Traffic staff to deternune if those parlang
within this neighborhood are commuters, event attendees, customers of neazby businesses, etc.
We also wanted to see how many non-pernutted vehicles were violating the 2 hr parking
restriction within the permit area. See attached map of the study area.
The study was conducted on Friday June 8, 2007. On this date there were the following events:
Tim McGraw & Faith Hill Concert at the Xcel Centre/ 7:30 pm
Park High School Graduation at Roy Wilkins Auditorium/ 7— 9 pm
Vintage Clothes & 7ewelry Show at River Centre/ 3 pm — 10 pm
Data Collection:
Number of parking spaces was determined for the length of block faces based on 20 ft. per space.
Adjustments were made for driveways, fire hydrants, stop signs, crosswalks, eta License plate
numbers were recorded every two hours between 130 pm. and 7:30 p.m. on a heavy event day.
The Police Department gaue us the zip codes for all of the license plates recorded. Those not in
the 55102 zipcode and without an Area 7 residenrial parking permit were considered non-
residents.
Studv Result Hi2hliehts:
E.S. Douglas between Stureis & Harrison (10 parking spaces) at 730 pm was 90% occupied;
60% occupied by non-residents.
W.S. Douelas between 5turais & Harrison (10 parking spaces) at 7:30 pm was 100% occupied;
90% occupied by non-residents.
DeGidio's Restaurant customers appeared to be parking on Douglas between Sturgis & Harrison
in the evening.
S.S. Forbes between Dou�las & Smith involves only 3 parking spaces, the rest of the block face
is Limit Time Parking. At 1:30 & 3:30 it was 100% parked with non-residents. At 7:30 pm it
was 100% occupied and 67% occupied by non-residents.
N.S. Forbes between Dou�las & Smith (10 parking spaces) averaged 75% occupancy overall
with 68% occupied by non-residents.
This block of Forbes between Douglas & Smith is next to the Salvation Army.
Salvation Aimy customers may be parking here since there was parking turnover.
E.S. Leech between 7th & Grand involves only 4 parking spaces. Averaged 100% occupancy
overall with 44% occupied by non-residents.
0�-�31
S.S. McBoal between Willdn & Leech (11 parking spaces) Very low occupancy during the day.
Then at 5:30 pm, 64% occupancy but only 18% non-residents.
At 7:30 pm, 82% occupancy; with 27% non-residents.
S.S. McBoal between Leech & Smith (13 parking spaces) Low occupancy during the day. Then
at 5:30 pm, 62% occupancy, 23% non-residents.
At 7:30 pm, 85% occupied; with 54°to non-residents.
Looked like there may have been some event pazking along the south side of McBoal. The closer
to Smith, the more of an issue there was.
We observed heavy commuter pazking on Goodrich east of Smith and on the west side of 5mith
between Goodrich & McBoal which is the area where there currently is no permit pazking, but
has been petitioned to be included in Area 7.
NeiEhborhood In-Put
A neighborhood meeting was held at District 9/Fort Road Federation on May 14, 2007 to discuss
the pazking issues and proposed changes. A pazking study was recommended. On September
10, 2007 another neighborhood meeting was held to report on the pazking study results. At that
meeting the neighbors agreed to go forward with changing Area 7 Parking from "Two Hour
Parking, Monday — Friday, 7:00 a.m.- 7:00 p.m., Except by Permit," to "No Parking Except by
Permit " District 9 has also supported the approval of expanding Area 7 to include Smith and
Goodrich as petitioned.
John DeGidio of DeGidids Restaurant was contacted by City staff to inform him of the
proposed changes. He had no objections provided we remove permit pazking from alongside his
property and replace it with a two hour limited tune pazking zone. This change is being
proposed by separate resolution.
Recommendations:
Approval of the following parking regulations as proposed in Council Resolution
#3044090 far the residential area near the United Hospital and Children's complex:
1) Remove the "Two Hour Parking, Monday - Friday, 7:00 AM — 7:00 PM, Except by
Permit, Area 7," and post "No Parking, Except by PermiY' for all of Area 7.
2) Expand Area 7 Residential Permit parking to include the following streets:
Both sides of Smith Avenue between Goodrich Avenue and McBoal Street
Both sides of Goodrich Avenue between Smith Avenue and the dead-end east of Leech
Street.
