Angle Parking – Efficiencies

The Transportation and Mobility Department conducted a survey and analysis of converting parallel parking to angle parking between 75th Street and 87th Terrace and between Collins Avenue and Dickens Avenue/Tatum Waterway Drive/Byron Avenue. As a result, an additional 22 parking spaces may be gained by this change in parking configuration.  The following are the affected blocks:

·         82nd Street between Collins Court and Collins Avenue – 4 parking spaces.

·         80th Street between Tatum Waterway Drive and Byron Avenue – 4 parking spaces.

·         75th Street between Harding Avenue and Dickens Avenue – 14 parking spaces.

These items were discussed at the July 15, 2020 NQOL Committee meeting. The committee reviewed and is recommending proceeding with the conversion of parallel to angle parking on blocks identified above.

The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission accept the NQOL recommendations as described above.
