If approved, this order will make the identified parking space on Franklin Street to be compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The identified parking space is currently identified as a 2-hour space. The Board of Directors of the Franklin Place Condo Association at 112 Franklin Street reached out to request this space be changed to an ADA compliant spot. There is not an ADA space on that side of Franklin Street, and the designation of this spot will accommodate visitors to Franklin Street and the surrounding businesses and residences that would benefit from ADA compliant parking. The City Engineer has reviewed this request and determined an ADA compliant space in the requested location would be acceptable. The item was reviewed and recommended for approval by the Downtown Parking Advisory Committee on January 14, 2020, and the Business and Economic Development Committee on January 21, 2020. This item addresses the Council goal to "Improve and Develop (a) Safe and Accessible Multi-Modal Transportation System".
