Council imposes no-parking zone on north side of Kings Ridge Drive
Summary
The council approved a traffic-control change to prohibit parking on the north side of Kings Ridge Drive from Westchester Drive to the cul-de-sac, following public-works and fire-department recommendations that the street’s width cannot safely accommodate double-parked vehicles.
The City of Dalton approved a traffic-control change Aug. 4 to prohibit parking on the north side of Kings Ridge Drive from the intersection with Westchester Drive to the cul-de-sac, city staff said. Chad (public works staff) told the council Kings Ridge Drive is 22 feet wide and cannot reliably accommodate double-parked vehicles; staff and the public works committee recommended the change, and the fire department also provided a positive recommendation.
Council members moved and seconded the item and approved it by voice vote. Chad said signage will be installed to notify motorists; the meeting record shows no discussion of enforcement detail, permit exceptions, or a timeline for sign installation. The staff report notes repeated observations of double parking, particularly near the cul-de-sac, and stated that the change is intended to maintain traffic flow and emergency access.
No appeals process or waiver was discussed at the meeting; the council’s action was recorded as an approved traffic-control change with signage planned.
