5. NEW BUSINESS
A. DISCUSSION OF STREET SWEEPING SIGNAGE ON CUL-DE-SACS.
Management Analyst Coyne explained the philosophy that guided the
posting of street sweeping signage on cui-de-sacs. He explained that if a
cul-de-sac is 9 parcels deep or less, the sweeping is done on both sides
of the street on one day. For cui-de-sacs that are 10 parcels deep or
more, sweeping is done on each side of the street on separate days. This
was implemented so that residents who live on long cui-de-sacs would not
have to walk great distances if they need to park their car on the street on
street sweeping days. The Commission directed Staff to catalog the
number of cui-de-sacs citywide, including the lengths of each cul-de-sac;
research the fiscal impact of adding/changing signage; and consult with
Athens Services about the feasibility of changing the street sweeping
schedule. The Commission requested that staff provide this additional
information within a 60 day period.
