Approve and adopt Resolution No. 2025-02 establishing angled parking on Walnut Avenue between Main Street and 2nd Street and appropriation of funds
body
Statement of Issue:
To support local businesses, enhance accessibility, and create additional revenue opportunities, staff recommends providing additional on-street, metered parking in the downtown.

Implementation of the metered, angled parking is expected to generate approximately $95,000 of additional revenue annually. The initial installation of the angled parking and meters is expected to cost approximately $20,000. The cost of the full installation is being funded through the In-Lieu Parking Fee Program (as established by City Council Resolution No. 2010-49) with the appropriation to Business Unit 30880101.
