Analysis
This ordinance makes the following changes to the fees for temporary occupancy or use of public ways in conjunction with construction on abutting property:
1. The provisions allowing for a 50% or 90% reduction in fees by Common Council resolution when certain criteria are met are eliminated.
2. Fees for temporary occupancy of a sidewalk area are halved when a portion of the sidewalk will remain open to pedestrian traffic and be at least 4 feet wide, or when a temporary sidewalk is provided on the same side of the street.
3. A new fee schedule for temporary occupancy of streets (traffic lanes, parking lanes and alleys) is created. Fees will be based on the functional classification of the street - arterial, collector or local. Fees for temporary occupancy of arterial streets will be increased slightly from current levels (3 to 8 percent). Fees for temporary occupancy of collector streets will be 2/3 the fees for arterial streets. Fees for temporary occupancy of local streets and alleys will be 1/3 the fees for arterial streets.
