Recommend approval of an ordinance amending the Naperville Traffic Schedule to remove both sides of Monticello Dr., from Plank Rd. to Bellingrath Ct., from section VIIA, Four-Hour Limited Parking, and to add the east side of Monticello Dr., from 60’ north of the centerline of Plank Rd. to 37’ north of the centerline of Bellingrath Ct. to Section VIA, No Parking Zones. Transportation Project Manager Mary Hartegan gave an overview of the recommended parking restriction on Monticello Drive. Howard Korn spoke against the proposal as it only impacts his house. He states that the change would preclude him from ever parking in front of his home. He states that congestion in the area only occurs between 4 and 7 pm. He states that the proposal should change to reflect an hourly restriction or a park parking restriction. Amy Spiewak who lives in Bellingrath Ct. on the north end of the proposed restriction. She states that the congestion is created because of the park district parking. She states that the congestion goes into Bellingrath Ct. during these times as well. She has concerns that parking that will be leaving Monticello will then push parked vehicles onto Bellingrath Ct. creating more congestion there. Webb asks about how time restrictions would work at certain locations throughout the city and if the city has any rules regarding that. Transportation Manager Prousa states that consistency would be key. Webb asks if we had any changes to any similar locations throughout the City. Prousa states the City does have other locations where this occurs. Melaniphy asks if staff has any other ideas for the recommendation. Deputy Director Jennifer Louden states that staff can reach out to the Park District to find out more information. Melaniphy states that he is understanding of the residents concerns regarding the parking restriction in front of one person's house. Rose asks if any incident occurred that brought this up.
