Call to Order: Micah Austin, City Administrator - 9:07am
Attendance: Kyle, Clarissa, Micah, Cindy, Morgan, Tracy
Minutes: February 14, 2024 m/s Cindy/Clarissa to approve
Citizens' Requests:
Wally Stewart, owner of Wally's, was present to discuss no parking along Midway Ave.
Micah noted that the commission had discussed this previously and Mr. Stewart
would like to comment and ask the commission to overturn.
Wally - Completed cars are parked on Midway for ease of departure by customers.
Vehicles being parked there are not overnight and are not "junk cars" they are all
customer cars. He sees parking in other areas and other narrow streets. Plowing will
make other unwanted issues. Wally is confused why it is suddenly a problem when it's
been happening for a long time. He is currently parking cars in neighboring business
lots and has resulted in many accidents recently.
Commission discussed concerns with overnight parking and lengthy parking. Many
entrances make line of sight concerns. Must be enforced equally in all areas. Kyle and
Clarissa expressed concern over making exceptions for Wally's employees only. They
want to continue to work with Wally on the situation. The Commission will continue to
consider the situation.
Street Division Updates: Pothole work, sealing cracks. Catching up on fall projects.
Snow blower is out of commission, center lanes have not been cleared.
Action Items
1. Restriping on Derrald Ave at the 25th E intersection
Idaho Falls - 25th E restriping request to adjust lanes to ease congestion.
