Nationwide, the U.S. Marshals Service has set a goal of establishing a 100 Il clearance of public parking around all federal buildings. The federal government is redesigning all of their private parking areas to ensure that public parking is farthest away from the building. The only other public parking that is precariously close to the Fayetteville facility is the 20 spaces located on both sides of Mountain Street directly in front of the building. After extensive consideration, staff recommends changing the nine spaces closest to the building on the south side of the street to be reused as follows: three spaces will be lengthened and changed into two handicapped spaces for use by the public; the other six spaces will be changed to restricted parking for U.S. officials only (off -premise officials that frequently visit the facility). The parking in these spaces would be enforced by employees of the U.S. Marshals Service. We considered leaving these spaces metered, but were afraid that this could be misleading to those looking for a parking space. We also considered asking the federal government to reimburse the city an estimated $2,000 in lost annual revenues, but decided not to recommend this because other cities, including Fort Smith arc not charging for lost revenue. Therefore, we will merely attach signage to the meter poles that states that the six spaces are for government officials only. We recommend leaving the 11 parking meters on the north side of Mountain Street in place until the renovation of the Mountain Inn parking garage begins. At that time, we could remove these meters and encourage the owner to use this lane for entering and exiting the parking garage (eliminating the current entrance on College that continues to be a traffic hazard). As you may know, public parking on the south side has been blocked off since September 11. Understandably, there have been no complaints, only positive feedback from the general public. Staff recommends the approval of this resolution to support the efforts of our govemment in accomplishing a safe environment for our federal employees. /sic CITY HALL • ATTACHMENT A • Meadow Street Center Street SQUARE Mountain Street TOWN CENTER Rock Street + PARKING SPACES ON -STREET MOUNTAIN INN +++++++++ FEDERAL _ BUILDING _ 111111IIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIII 11111111 11111 ! 11 LLI 11 IJJJ 111 I anuany a2aijoo • ATTACHMENT B • • • STAFF REVIEW FORM XXX AGENDA REQUEST CONTRACT REVIEW GRANT REVIEW For the Fayetteville City Council meeting of FROM: Sharon -Crosson Na:ne 2 .January 15, 200Y Parking Management Utilities Management Division Deoartment.
