Summary
The purpose of this item is to amend Chapter 71 of the Code of Ordinances relating to parking on city streets by adding no parking zones along 10th Street near BASIS Pflugerville Charter School located at 1217 South 10th Street. Vehicles parked in this area compromise safety by creating a dangerous blind spot for drivers exiting the campus onto 10th Street. This obstruction affects sight lines and poses a hazard to drivers traveling northbound and southbound on 10th Street.
This ordinance is supported by BASIS Pflugerville Charter School, which has expressed concerns regarding parents parking along 10th Street during pick-up and drop-off times, disregarding the school’s outlined policy. The school community has requested assistance in enforce safety measures and welcomes law enforcement to guide or ticket those violating the regulations.
Upon approval of the second reading of the proposed ordinance, the Engineering Department will coordinate with Public Works to install no parking signs in the designated areas.
