Williams, Jr., City Manager <br /> Bruce A. McNabb, Director of Public Works <br /> Matthew C. Newell, Traffic Engineer �yf�� <br /> SUBJECT: Ordinance Repealing Ordinance No. 77-13 Removing Parking <br /> from the South Side of East Marietta Street Between Martin <br /> Luther King, Jr. Drive and Jasper Street, Re-establishing a <br /> Parking Prohibition on the South Side of Marietta Street Between <br /> Jasper and Illinois Streets and an Ordinance Removin� Parking <br /> from the North Side of East Marietta Street Between Martin <br /> Luther King, Jr. Drive and Calhoun Street <br /> At the December meeting of the Traffic and Parking Commission, the Commission <br /> approved a request from the Decatur Housing Authority (DHA) to remove parking on the north <br /> side and allow parking on the south side of Marietta Street between Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive <br /> and Calhoun Street. This parking change was proposed by DHA to enhance the safety of the area <br /> by moving parked cars away from the boulevard where children are often playing. The parked <br /> cars tend to hide children from the view of passing motorists. The attached drawing indicates the <br /> various parking changes that are being made by the two ordinances included with this <br /> memorandum. <br /> To provide for this ordinance, it is necessary to repeal Ordinance No. 77-13 that removed <br /> parking from the entire length of Marietta Street between Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive and <br /> Jasper Street. The repeal of Ordinance No. 77-13 requires the re-establishment of the parking <br /> prohibition on the south side of Marietta Street between Illinois and Jasper Streets. <br /> i <br />
