Title

Resolution directing the Department of Public Works to install "NO PARKING TO ALLEY" signs in the vicinity of South 21^st Street and West Greenfield Avenue.

Analysis

This resolution directs the Department of Public Works to install "NO PARKING TO ALLEY" signs along Greenfield Avenue 4 feet east of and 4 feet west of the Greenfield Avenue entrance to the alley in the block bounded by West Scott Street, West Greenfield Avenue, South 21^st Street and South 22^nd Street

Body

Whereas, Section 346.53(4) of the Wisconsin Statutes prohibits parking of motor vehicles within 4 feet of the entrance to an alley; and

Whereas, There is a chronic problem of vehicles being parked less than 4 feet from the Greenfield Avenue entrance to the north-south alley in the block bounded by West Scott Street, West Greenfield Avenue, South 21^st Street and South 22^nd Street; and

Whereas, By limiting visibility of approaching traffic for motorists exiting the alley, vehicles parked in this manner are creating an unsafe traffic situation at the alley entrance in question; and

Whereas, Installation of "NO PARKING TO ALLEY" signs at the location in question may alleviate this parking problem by increasing motorists' awareness of the prohibition of s. 346.53(4), Wis. Stats.; now, therefore, be it

Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the Department of Public Works is directed to install "NO PARKING TO ALLEY" signs along Greenfield Avenue 4 feet east of and 4 feet west of the Greenfield Avenue entrance to the alley in the block bounded by West Scott Street, West Greenfield Avenue, South 21^st Street and South 22^nd Street.
