A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY,SPOKANE COUNTY,
WASHINGTON,DELEGATING TO STAFF THE AUTHORITY TO IMPOSE TEMPORARY
PARKING RESTRICTIONS RELATED TO RIGHT-OF-WAY CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS,
AND OTHER MATTERS RELATING THERETO .
WHEREAS, the City of Spokane Valley engages in a variety of construction projects in the
public rights-of-way for the public benefit; and
WHEREAS, in the process of constructing such projects, it is occasionally necessary to
temporarily restrict parking in the rights-of-way in and around the projects in the interest of safety of the
public and the construction crews involved in the projects; and
WHEREAS, most citizens voluntarily cooperate with the City to temporarily move vehicles so
they don't interfere with the projects and create a safety hazard. However, the City needs to ensure that
it has the ability to require that parking be prohibited so that unnecessary project delays do not cost the
City additional money; and
WHEREAS, the Council has authority, after an engineering and traffic investigation by the
Traffic Engineer to, among other traffic measures, prohibit, regulate, or limit stopping, standing, or
parking of vehicles on any highway at all times or during such times as shall be directed by official
traffic control devices. The Council desires to delegate to the City Manager or designee the authority,
pursuant to appropriate limitations, to implement temporary parking restrictions relating to construction
projects in the public rights-of-way.
NOW THEREFORE, be it resolved by the City Council of the City of Spokane Valley, Spokane
County, Washington, that the City Manager or designee is delegated the following authority relating to
implementing temporary parking restrictions for construction projects in the public rights-of-way:
1. An engineering and traffic analysis shall be performed prior to making any temporary parking
revisions, which shall determine the parameters and specific limitations of the temporary
revisions; and
2. Temporary parking restrictions may be ill place for up to 120 days; and
3. A temporary parking restriction may be extended in up to 30 day increments ill the event the
construction project is not completed; and
4. Prior written notice shall be provided to all adjoining property owners and/or tenants for
projects abutting a roadway; and
5. Any temporary parking restrictions shall be marked by official traffic control devices; and
6. Any temporary parking restrictions shall be removed as soon as reasonably possible following
completion of the project.
This Resolution shall be in full force and effect upon adoption.
