APPROVAL OF MINUTES Manns moved, Miner seconded, CARRIED, to approve the minutes from the Traffic Board meeting held December 9, 1998. Yeas: 5 Nays: 0 PUBLIC COMMENT ON AGENDA ITEMS 1. Debra Blews - Sparrow Avenue#98-25 Ms. Blews states that they are not asking for the signs to be changed from no stopping, standing or parking signs but that they not be enforced as such. Ms. Blews believes that the only reason this has become an issue is because two years ago a resident Traffic Board Meeting Minutes from Meeting Held Page - 2 - January 13, 1999 complained about a parent who was parked in their driveway. Ms. Blews also stated that is was her understanding that City Council put the no stopping, standing or parking zone so that residents and school people would not park there but that it would be that limited pick up and drop off zone. Ms. Blews finds it interesting that up until two years ago the police never bothered the parents. Ms. Blews feels that the safety of the children are at risk, we are expecting the children to cross Sparrow Avenue to get into cars. 2. Maggie Spitzley- Pere Marquette#98-24 Ms. Spitzley is representing Pere Marquette LLC and Public Policy Associates and is in favor of the parking regulation change request for Pere Marquette Drive. 3. Harry Hepler- Pere Marquette#98-24 Mr. Hepler stated that the need for more parking spaces on Pere Marquette. On one -end of Pere Marquette is heavy commercial truck traffic, in the middle it has office use on a fairly heavy basis and on the other end is heavy restaurant traffic. During the hours of 11-1:30 p.m. and again after 6:00 p.m. his business, Blue Coyote, puts enormous pressures on parking. The most hazardous situations are at lunch time with the commercial truck traffic and lunch traffic going to the Blue Coyote and Clara's. The Blue Coyote does provide valet parking, but unfortunately only a certain percentage of people will utilize this service. Mr. Hepler states because there are only about 9 or 10 spots on the south side of Pere Marquette and the rest or way down at the other end, for long term parking, he would like to see more meter parking available for longer time than 30 minutes. Mr. Hepler feels that with more meter parking spaces it will reduce the pressures on his business, Clara's, Pere Marquette LLC and Public Policy. 4. Mike O'Leary- Pere Marquette#98-24 _ Mr. O'Leary would like to see more parking spaces along the west side of Pere Marquette. There is parking available north of the proposed parking spots but they are not as convenient and there is not a sidewalk. Mr. O'Leary would like to increase the accessability to not only Blue Coyote but the tenants at 119 Pere Marquette. Mr. O'Leary believes with more parking spaces it will increase the traffic flow in that area. 5. Pete Jubeck - Pere Marquette#98-24 Mr. Jubeck stated that he has never been in favor of putting in more parking meters. Mr. Jubeck understands that Mr. Hepler and Mr. O'Leary do their best to keep people from parking in Clara's parking lot but it's not good enough. Mr. Jubeck states that he is spending a great deal of money supervising his own parking lot. If people have a choice between parking for free or paying a parking meter, they usually parking in his lot. Mr. Jubeck asks that whatever is decided to do, the City needs to be fair with all of the property owners. If it is going to put a burden on Paramount Coffee, the City needs to take a look at that. Mr. Jubeck also stated that it has already put a burden on him and his business but he is going to work around it. Traffic Board Meeting Minutes from Meeting Held Page - 3 - January 13, 1999 6. Ma[ty Schlissberg - Pere Marquette #98-24 Mr. Schlissberg would like to see things stay the way they currently are. Mr. Schlissberg stated that they currently do not use the loads docks that often. They do use the loading docks to park semi's when they have several loads come in at the same time. If the proposed parking regulation change goes through, the semi's will end up in the street which will cause more parking problems. COMMUNICATIONS AND PETITIONS 1. Traffic Investiqation Report#98-25• Sparrow Avenue Mr. Berridge stated that this issue has quite an extensive history and gave an overview. In the past, before the no stopping, standing, parking zones were in place, when we had more passive regulations, both sides of the street would be jammed with vehicles. In these instances, it would reduce Sparrow Avenue, a 30 ft wide street, to one 12 ft lane moving in one direction or another. The Lansing School District has contacted the Transportation Division to open up the bus loading zone. The school currently places cones so that the buses have a place to load and unload. Mr. Berridge stated that it is not a perfect situation and that you will probably always have vehicles parking in the no stopping, standing, parking zone. The City has worked with past principals and superintendents to lay out different options on the Lansing Christian School property for a driveway. There is plenty of room to put a driveway between Sparrow and Barnes, which would allow the pick up and drop off to take place on school property. Mr. Berridge stated that the regulations that were instituted in 1987 have had a positive benefit. With the current no stopping, standing, parking zone, parents typically do not abandon their vehicles. Most people believe that if they leave their vehicles, the police will ticket their vehicles immediately, which is the intent. The no parking zone policy gives you 15 minutes, which is why there are no parking zones around the school on Sterling and east on Sparrow. Mr. Berridge stated that the intent of City Council in 1987 was no stopping, standing, parking. If the intent had been any different, then the regulation would have reflected this. It was never intended for a pick up and drop off location. In the 1987 report, Lansing Christian School was suppose to work to find an offsite circulation solution that worked for them and met the standards for putting a driveway from Sparrow Avenue to Barnes. As of this date, this has not occurred. Mr. Stebbins questioned whether or not Lansing Christian School had safety patrol in place on these corners. Ms. Blews stated that they do have safety patrol in place and the problem times are in the afternoon when parents are picking up their children at the same time. Ms. Blews also stated that currently parents are not parking on both sides, the school has teachers outside to make sure that parents do not park on both sides but that they do not leave their vehicles. If a parent needs to go into the school, they are instructed to park in the parking lot. Unfortunately, the parking lot is not large enough to handle all of the traffic. Mr. Stebbins questioned what the feasibility of putting in a driveway. Mr. Blews stated that there are currently two portable classrooms on the north side of the parking lot which would hinder the driveway. Mr. Berridge stated that the city had proposed several different options. One option was widening Barnes or Sparrow so that there could be drop off and pick up and still safely maintain two lanes of Traffic Board Meeting Minutes from Meeting Held Page - 4 - January 13, 1999 traffic. Mr. Miner questioned who would pay for the widening of the streets. Mr. Berridge stated that the school would be responsible for the costs involved. The Lansing School District had to pay to have Lenawee widened to create more parking and still maintain two lanes of traffic because parking near their building was critical to them. Those options still exist but they do come associated with a price tag. Mr. Brehob asked if it would be possible to allow parking on one side of Sparrow. Mr. Berridge stated that it is a cascade effect. If we had 100% compliance on the north side of the street at all times every day, then it may be possible to allow drop off and pick up on the south side. Unfortunately, no one can guarantee that no one would violate the north side if we allow something to occur on the south side. If we had intense parking on the south side and an occasional violator on the north side, then the street would be down to one lane traffic. Therefore, we feel that the situation is best handled with the strong regulations that we have. Ms. Bassette stated that two teachers and a safety patrol are outside every day to ensure that parents do not park on the north side. Ms. Manns questioned whether or not their current parking lot would accommodate the drop off and pick up. Ms. Blews stated that their current parking lot is not large enough to handle all of the pick up and drop off times. Ms. Foltz concern was that the school never put in a driveway in after all these years, long before the portable classrooms were ever put there. Ms. Blews stated that, once again, it is a money issue. Mr. Berridge stated that if the north side is free, you have room for two moving lanes of traffic. It does not guarantee that when the bus shows up, you will have the space. The school has taken a more active roll in trying to self patrol this area than in the past. Mr. Berridge agrees with Ms. Foltz that in 13 years it is upsetting that Lansing Christian has found money to increase the headcount and purchase portable classrooms but they have not been able to find the money to handle their parking problems. Mr. Brehob questioned if we could try it on a temporary basis. Mr. Berridge stated that is possible, we could try it for a 90 day period. The only question is it realistic to experiment with the current situation. Miner moved, Stebbins seconded, CARRIED, to concur with the Transportation Division recommendation to leave the no stopping, standing or parking zone on the south side of Sparrow Avenue and install pedestrian crosswalks on the west and north legs of the intersection of Sparrow Avenue at Fletcher Street. Yeas: 5 Nays: O REPORTS FROM THE SECRETARY 1. Transportation Division Budget Mr. Berridge gave an overview of the FY00 budget. Ms. Foltz questioned how the restoration projects were going for the parking ramps. Mr. Berridge stated that the ramps are on a rotating schedule. The schedule is as follows: FY98 North Capitol Ramp FY99 South Capitol Ramp FY00 South Grand Ramp Traffic Board Meeting Minutes from Meeting Held Page - 5 - January 13, 1999 FY01 North Grand Ramp - Old Side FY02 North Grand Ramp Expansion Mr. Brehob questioned the parking system fund administrative costs. Mr. Berridge stated that $670,000 of the $1.4 million is for indirect cost plan. We pay for services in other aspects of city government that are indirectly and directly spread back to us. These costs include the mainframe computer, maintenance on city vehicles (gas, oil, etc), legal, accounting and personnel services. Mr. Berridge stated that this budget is a needs declaration on the expense side. This is what we believe that we need to do. Mr. Berridge stated that at this time, it does not look like we will meet the $6,892,000 for the current fiscal year or possibly the next fiscal year. If we do not meet this figure, it will affect how we spend fund balance this year and next year. We have to stay financially constrained. We can't spend more money than we take in or have in the bank. If we have to make adjustments it is done in the capital improvements. Mr. Stebbins asked if the board has the power to deny the budget. Mr. Berridge stated that the board is an advisory board. The budget was condensed from 60-70 pages to a four page summary report for the board. Mr. Berridge stated that anyone who wishes to have a copy of the complete report can have one. Brehob moved, Miner Seconded, CARRIED, to move the Transportation Division Budget to an action item at the February 10, 1999 traffic board meeting. Yeas: 5 Nays: O ACTION ITEMS 1. Parking Regulation Change Report#98-24: Pere Marquette Drive Mr. Berridge stated that last month there was a problem with the mailing and some of the people that had wanted to come and speak had not received their agenda packages in enough time to get it on their schedule. Therefore, Mr. Berridge is asking that the board reconsider their action from last month and deliberate and ask questions. Mr. Berridge feels that there are two or three different options at this time, the board can uphold the past recommendation, reconsider and deliberate and either reaffirm what the board has done or change what was done after deliberation. Mr. Berridge stated that the report itself is self explanatory, it was discussed in great detail last month. We do recognize that there is a need for the loading dock at different times for Paramount Coffee, we believe that we can provide that at times. There are two ways to provide it. We either provide all the time, leaving the parking regulations the present way or install some type of parking control where Paramount Coffee can have the meters bagged for a delivery. Ms. Foltz asked if it was still a possibility to give Paramount Coffee bags for the meters that they can use when they have a delivery. Mr. Berridge stated that is a feasible solution. Mr. Berridge also stated that there is a better way to use the public right of way than to let it sit empty 98% of the time, except when a semi is unloading or when the loading dock is being used. Mr. Berridge stated that this would not be a permanent regulation. If Paramount Coffee had changes within their organization and they needed to utilize the loading dock to be active five days per week, the regulation could then be changed back. Traffic Board Meeting Minutes from Meeting Held Page - 6 - January 13, 1999 Mr. Miner asked if we are dealing with the nine or nothing spaces or are there other options. Mr. Berridge stated that the five space option has some difficulties because it leaves two uncontrolled spaces in between spaces that are already there which will be confusing to the public. Mr. Berridge restated that in his opinion the nine space option is a better alternative from a customer service standpoint. With the nine space option, we can put bags on the meters when Paramount Coffee needs to use the loading docks. Mr. Stebbins asked who would be responsible for putting the bags on the meters when needed. Mr. Berridge stated that he would work with Interstate Foods. If Interstate Foods wanted to accept the responsibility of the meter bags and establish the ground rules for them, they could have meter bags to use when they needed the loading dock. The typical process is to call one day in advance and we would install them. If twenty four hours notice is not acceptable and they need more flexibility or would like to experiment with that, it is something that we can do. Mr. Berridge stated that we are trying to seek compromise to provide additional parking and Interstate Foods the ability to use the loading docks if needed. Mr. Brehob stated that the primary concern with the nine-space option is that vehicles may then move into the active loading docks, causing more problems. Mr. Brehob also asked that if we went with the five space option could we increase enforcement in that area for a month. Mr. Berridge stated that would not be necessary, the area is already enforced throughout the day. Mr. Brehob stated that he would like to try the nine space option on a trial basis. Mr. Schlissberg stated they write tickets twenty four hours a day in the No Parking Zone. Mr. Berridge stated that Paramount Coffee is part of the private parking enforcement program where they are able to write tickets in the No Parking Zone impacting their property. Ms. Foltz stated that Blue Coyote needs to find a solution for their parking problems. Mr. Hepler stated that not only is he speaking on behalf of his business but also the tenants of 119 Pere Marquette. Ms. Spitzley stated that they would like to see more parking spots. Mr. Miner stated that putting in these five or nine spots is not going to solve the parking problem. Mr. Berridge restated that Paramount Coffee/Interstate Foods has been very open with their facilities. Mr. Berridge agrees with Mr. Hepler in that there is a need for additional parking spaces on Pere Marquette. Mr. Berridge also agrees with Mr. Schlissberg that at lunch time when more than one semi is delivering, it creates a congestion in this area. The meters that are currently on Pere Marquette are highly unutilized. It is an issue of location. The best space is the space that is closest to the front door. Foltz moved, Stebbins seconded, FAILED, to uphold the decision made at last month's meeting to deny additional meter installation on Pere Marquette. Yeas: 3 Nays: 2 Brehob, Manns 2.
