ISSUE

Overflow parking from the adjacent apartment complex is intruding on available parking. Restrictions have been requested to ensure access to neighborhood is not impeded.

RECOMMENDATION

Restrict parking at all times on both sides of Purdue Drive between Walnut Street and Princeton Drive. Unless otherwise directed by Council, this item will be scheduled for formal consideration at the January 17, 2023 Regular Meeting.

BACKGROUND

Residents from the Gardens on Walnut apartments are parking along Purdue Drive and impeding traffic accessing the neighborhood to the north and east.
Purdue Drive is a 27-foot-wide residential street.
Purdue Drive serves as a collector street used by neighborhoods on the north and east to access Walnut Street.

CONSIDERATION

Vehicles currently parked on Purdue could be parked further into the adjacent neighborhoods.
