Construction will impact Jefferson Avenue through June

Oh what will the park-and-ride commuters do? I’m trying to work on understanding how Fan and Jackson Ward petitioned getting 2hr parking. I’ve called Permits and Planning and, as you would expect, no one will call me back. Hoping to get in on Marshall (before 1903 gets built) and the streets around the park. Anybody have contacts on the inside? The Circle will be step one on making Jefferson great. Solving the daytime parking issue will be another.

So your telling me they are going to do all these circles by June?

The Jefferson circle near Alamo is bigger than the nine mile/25th circle and that thing has been going on for months….

I’ll believe when I see it

Why all the effort on these circles when they can’t even pay for the grass to be cut??

I image the large circle is in the 100s of thousands of dollars

@3: Funding for the Jefferson Ave project comes from a budget that’s earmarked specifically for traffic calming/road way capital improvements. Total project budget is under $100K per estimate from Traffic Engineering.

@1, recently, a neighbor shared the info below about parking:

Hello Sam,

The chapter is 102 and the code section 301 through 302. Here is code section 301 and process for establishing a residential parking district.

1) Written documentation that the proposed district has insufficient on-street parking for persons who reside within the proposed district

2) Written documentation that outlines the proposed parking
district, which should be a minimum of ten contiguous block faces

3) Written documentation from a majority of the affected
associations representing the properties within the proposed district, and property owners within the proposed district approving of the outlined parking district; provided, however, that, where written documentation is submitted indicating that fewer than 60 percent of the properties within the proposed district are owner-occupied, then such approval shall be required from a majority of the associations and a
majority of the occupants of the properties in such proposed district rather than from a majority of the property owners in the proposed district; and

4) Upon receipt of the petition, a survey of the proposed block
faces will be conducted. The survey will determine if the following requirements are met;
a. 75% of the curb side parking spaces are occupied on week days, and
b. 35% of the parked vehicles are from outside the
residential neighborhood

5) Upon receipt and verification of the above information, the
director of public works shall prepare an ordinance within 90 days of receipt of a complete application to establish a restricted parking district. Following approval of a district, the director of finance shall develop an implementation plan and administer the implementation of the issuance of the permits as prescribed in the ordinance that establishes the district within 90 days of the adoption of the ordinance to residents of the district. The director of public works shall cause the parking regulations in the district to be changed to reflect the change in restricted parking. Once approved, 12 months must elapse before any new application to make significant modification to or terminate a residential restricted parking district will be considered. At the request of the association, the director of public works may modify the boundary for existing residential parking permit districts
after the district has been in effect for 12 months.
