The concern of the two business owners is that commuters or others using the parking lot at the Village Transit Station will park in front of their business for a long period rather than using the transit station parking lot. If this happens, the limited number of parking spaces in front of the businesses will not be available for customers. Christiansen Way, sometimes also referred to as Cedar Street, is the primary access to the transit center from State Street. There are six on-street parking spaces total on both sides of Christiansen Way to serve the two businesses. Long-term daily parking in these spaces by commuters would represent an unnecessary hardship to each business. This matter was discussed by the Traffic Safety Commission at their June 5,1995 meeting. Adequate long-term parking is available in the transit station parking lot to offset the time limit for the six parking spaces on Christiansen Way. The Commission recommended by a 4-0 vote that a TWO-HOUR PARKING zone be established on each side of Christiansen Way from State Street westerly to the alley that parallels the railroad tracks. FISCAL IMPACT! Installing four TWO-HOUR PARKING signs will cost approximately $405. 1. Location map. 2. Letter dated April 28, 1995 from Jerome Rice. 3.

Since the construction qf the NCTD Station, numerous parking spaces have been removed from the Cedar Avenue location. These missing spaces were very important to the business health of not only my business but my neighbor Bauer Lumber Co.. Avenue the parking for our business's would be fair game for the NCTD's Coaster rider. NCTD site, but past experience has shown that these riders would prefer to park on City streets and lots. If a time limit is not implemented on Cedar These riders will have ample parking on the Please consider the limited parking for Cedar Avenue as it would also be in tune with the surround- ing City Streets.
