The business owners of 829 North LBJ Drive are requesting the installation of a 2-hour parking zone on the south side of 200 Acorn Street (North LBJ Drive to Chestnut Street), from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday. Acorn Street attaches to the north boundary of 829 NorthP LBJ Drive. The south side of Acorn Street is continuously encroached by the overflow parking from Ella Lofts Apartment located at 817 Chestnut Street.

 

City staff has reviewed the request and recommends the 2-hour parking restriction, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Monday through Friday on the south side of 200 Acorn Street (North LBJ Drive to Chestnut Street).  The Neighborhood has been notified of this request.

 

Pursuant to Section 82.067 of the City Code the traffic engineer is required to maintain a traffic register containing a record of every location in the city where any traffic control device or special regulation applies.
