1. Concerns — All on -street parking concerns, either from staff or residents, are received by
the Public Works Department Traffic Engineering Division. The Traffic Engineering Division will
respond to the concern acknowledging receipt and if needed ask for more information.
2. Investigation — If a valid concern is presented, the Traffic Engineering Division in
coordination with City of College Station Fire Department (CSFD) may conduct an investigation.
The investigation may include observing street width, traffic patterns, counting parked vehicles,
taking pictures, fire hydrant locations and consulting with other City departments including, police,
and the City Attorney's Office. The CSFD may evaluate the impact that the parking has on
emergency vehicle access. An investigation does not need to be completed if it is determined
parking needs to be removed because of a public health or safety concern. On residential streets
27 feet wide parking is permitted on one side, while residential streets 24 feet or less in width
prohibit on -street parking on both sides of the street.
3. Recommendation and TMT — The Traffic Engineering Division will present the
investigation results to the Traffic Management Team (TMT). The TMT may give further
guidance, direction, and recommend approval or denial. If the TMT recommends no parking
removal no further action is needed. The Traffic Engineering Division will contact the person
making the complaint of any TMT direction.
4. Public Meeting — If deemed necessary for parking removal, a public meeting will be held
for public input and notice. Meeting notices will be mailed to residents, including tenants and
property owners adjacent to the parking removal street at least 10 days before the meeting. The
meeting notice should include the streets that are proposed for parking removal, the date, time and
meeting location and the City's representative's contact information. Based on feedback and input
from the public meeting the parking removal may be presented back to the TMT or move forward
for City Council direction.
