CHAPTER 6: Neighborhood Programs and Services
Residential Permit Parking Zone Program
Residents continue to request parking restrictions
to reduce spill-over parking in their neighborhoods.
To address these requests, the Residential Permit
Parking Zone Program (RPZ), established in 1985,
posts parking restrictions along residential streets.
Residents living in a designated parking zone are
exempt from the parking restrictions if they display
a permit in their vehicles. The City issues these
permits at no cost to residents who provide proof
of residency within the zone. Map 6-E identifies the
16 RPZ locations active in 2005.
Stationary Radar Signs provide drivers feedback on their travel
speed
Minimize spillover parking from commercial
areas, parks, and other facilities encroaching on
residential neighborhoods, through residential
parking zones and other measures.
Comprehensive Plan Policy TR-119
Traffic Safety Technologies
The Traffic Safety Technologies Program funds the
use of technologies, such as Radar Speed Trailers
and Radar Dollies, to address a major concern on
residential streets — excessive vehicle speeds. In
some circumstances it makes sense to make driver
feedback a permanent solution to higher than
posted vehicular speeds. The City’s Stationary Radar
Sign Program, begun in Fall 2000, aims to reduce
