Item/Subject: Authorizing Widening Of A Portion of Jessie Street
Responsible Department: Engineering
Commerrtery:
The neighborhood in the vicinity of Jessie Street and Grace Court Is very densely developed,
with many small lots and very narrow streets. Because of this, there is insufficlent space for
parldng. The City owns vacant land on the northesterly side of Jessie Street, which has historically
been used by some area residents for parking.
The attached Council Order would widen the Jessie Street right-of-way, to essentially
legitimize the parking use.
This issue was discussed at the 10/24/01 meeting of the Infrastructure and Development
Support Committee, which recommended moving forward with this action. This Order is the first
step in widening the nghtrof-way, to be followed by notification, publicbearing, and a report to me
City Council for final action, all as provided by State statutes. I 1
