Biking & Walking: Comment

Phone Call: Received by email from Resident: The Park Ridge park is receiving increased usage these days. It's a great park with wonderful amenities and we are very proud of it! We monitor it carefully to be sure all is in good repair, the grounds are litter free, and we interact with City staff as they visit to maintain the park. As a result of this usage, parking has become an item that needs closer attention and management. With two residential homes on the circle with driveways, occasionally the two driveways are occasionally partially blocked; at least to the point where the residents of the two homes are challenged to enter or exit their driveways. Suggestion: would you survey the circle area and consider placing stripes to designate parking spaces? This would insure if vehicles park within the designated spaces, blocking driveways would not be an issue. One resident has medical needs and occasionally requires emergency transport. Additionally, please consider a yellow "do not park" grid stenciled to mark the walk/bike path entry off the circle. This area is often blocked by parked cars. The result is walking or biking around a vehicle to use the path. If a person in a wheelchair wished to enter the path (at the bottom of the hill), they are unable to access the path if a vehicle parks in front of the entry.

Thank you for submitting this uReport and bringing this concern to our attention. After visiting the site, the Engineering Department does not feel that delineating parking spaces would be appropriate for this location. State code (IC 9-21-16-5) prohibits parking in front of a public or private driveway. Parking Service (812-349-3436) would be able to enforce the law for any parking violation and include the yellow curb, which is in that area of the ramp. You can call the non-emergency police line (812-339-4477) if it is urgent. If this issue continues to happen, please feel free to provide additional pictures of it. With the violations pictures we may be open to reevaluating the conditions.

I am not sure if this would be a request for Engineering, Streets, or for a member of the Long Range Planning team to take to Parking Commission. Please let me know if it is not Engineering.
