At a glance
Based on auto-generated captions; names may be misheard.
- What: a petition for no parking anytime on South McKinley Avenue from Southwest 84th to Southwest 89th Street, where a newly sold church site and field now hold a charter school.
- Where it stands: on 2026-10-19 the commission approved 7-0 no parking anytime on the west (housing) side only; parking stays open on the east (school) side.
- Next: staff will look at signage near the two church lot exits, including a 20 ft entrance buffer reminder. Petitioners can return for the east side if needed.
The request
- Street is built to the 26 ft residential standard; overflow event parking on both sides leaves one lane.
- Concerns: fire and ambulance access, dump and trash trucks, driveways, a playground close to the curb, and sight lines at the church lot exits.
- 91% of respondents in the canvass area supported the original two-sided request.
School position
- Brandon Roberson (captioned) said the district did not object, is adding one grade a year to fifth grade, has changed its pickup pattern, and is studying parking along the field. The trouble is mainly large events.
Decision
- Commissioner Hale amended his motion to the west side only after discussion of a "happy medium" and a remark that full no-parking can speed traffic up. Seconded by Commissioner Littlefield; passed 7-0.
