Residents raise enforcement problems over expired Carmel Terrace permit signs; staff to return with recommendation
Summary
Residents asked the commission to resolve inconsistent 'no stopping' signs near Carmel Terrace and Brock intermediate school that make enforcement impossible; staff said the prior resident-permit pilot was rescinded but signage was not updated and will prepare a staff report and notify 44 affected households before the August meeting.
A neighborhood parking-permit and signage problem near Brock intermediate was raised as a commission agenda item.
Staff explained that a one-year resident-permit pilot program for Carmel Terrace was rescinded in 2019 but the signage on the street still reads "No stopping 7–10 except with resident permit," leaving enforcement unenforceable because there is no active permit program. The inconsistency means the Police Department cannot act on the signs as posted.
Art said staff will prepare a recommended staff report, notify the roughly 44 affected households, and bring the matter back to the commission and likely to City Council in August with a proposed solution and sign updates. Commissioners asked staff to include cost-recovery considerations if a permit program is proposed and to clarify what signage and enforcement would look like under any recommended approach.
No vote was taken tonight; the item will be considered again in August with a staff recommendation and public comment from the affected neighborhood.
