TITLE
Recommendation to request City Manager to review issues associated with parking impacts to neighborhoods adjoining the Deukmejian Courthouse, including but not limited to the areas bordered by Broadway to the South, 4th Street to the North, Cedar Avenue to the East and Golden Avenue to the West. Solution to consider include preferential parking districts, additional street parking meters, off-site parking options and additional enforcement. Return to Council with a report within 60 days.
DISCUSSION
Upon its completion in 2013, the Govemor George Deukmejian Courthouse was estimated to house approximately 500 staff members including bench and court staff, Sheriff's staff and other county employees and serve an estimated 5,000 individuals on a daily basis.
This outside influx of new people in the West Gateway Neighborhood has created an even greater impact on residential parking than existed prior to the relocation of the courthouse.
