BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

Staff previously brought a recommendation for yellow center line pavement markings and an extended no parking zone for Avery Parkway to the Transportation and Traffic Advisory Board and City Council.

In Spring 2022, staff completed a second traffic study. The summary of that study is attached.
