DISCUSSION After Memorial Day, a resident contacted her council representative with a concern that her street was not well swept due to that fact that it was a holiday and there were many cars on the street. In response, Public Works returned to her street and made an additional pass with a street sweeper. Staff noted that the segment of the street that was dirtiest had not been swept on Memorial Day because that portion of the street was scheduled for sweeping on a different day. The sweeping schedule information was transmitted to the resident for future reference. Since 2003, the City has received numerous requests to post additional street segments no parking on street sweeping days. Staff has recommended against posting additional residential streets for the following two reasons: 1. The Police Department does not have the capacity for additional parking enforcement with existing staffing and resources. 2. Public Works would have to reduce its existing street sweeping schedule to post more residential streets no parking on street sweeping days. Staff has discussed various options to adding parking restrictions but they all require additional funding which currently is not available through the Stormwater, Gas Tax, or General Funds.
