So Moved

By Harry Saltzgaver
Executive Editor

Published: Wednesday, February 3, 2010 2:38 PM PST

There are two major parks in the Fifth City Council District — Heartwell and part of El Dorado — where youth soccer, softball and baseball are located. Smaller parks also attract practices, if not games.

Fifth District Councilwoman Gerrie Schipske has noted that those youth sports tend to draw cars, particularly during game days. Since most parks have little if any parking, that means mom and dad, grandpa and grandma, often end up parking in nearby neighborhoods.

So Tuesday night, Schipske introduced a motion that will allow the city traffic engineer the right to determine whether a neighborhood is being impacted directly by teams permitted to use public parks for team sports. More importantly, the residents of that neighborhood would not have to pay for the study, which can cost up to $60,000.

Then, if the study shows there is an impact, residents could petition for a preferential parking district. If 60% of the residents agree, the district could be created and residents will pay for only the annual permit (currently $120) while the city provides signs and enforcement.

Because this is a citywide issue, the council voted to ask City Manager Pat West to meet with Parks, Recreation and Marine staff, Public Works and Schipske, then report back within 30 days.
