Re: Loading Zone at 1825 Morningside Drive
As directed by Section 23-16 of the Municipal Code of Iowa City, this is to
advise you of the following action:
ACTION:
Pursuant to Section 23-287 of the Municipal Code of Iowa City, the City
Traffic Engineer will direct the installation of a loading zone at the front
walk of the home addressed 1825 Morningside Drive. In addition, additional j
signs will be placed so as to prohibit parking from the south end of the
loading zone south to the intersection of Morningside Drive with College
Street. This action will take place or shortly after September 30, 1986.
COMMENT:
This action is being taken to facilitate access to the home addressed as 1825
Morningside Drive. The home owner is 85 years old and is living at home
without assistance. The home owner requires the use of a walker in moving
about. The prohibition noted above will allow access from the home to the
curb side for such services as SEATS transportation, Meals on Wheels and
Visiting Nurses Association. The parking prohibition from the loading zone
south to College Street will remove 1 1/2 parking stalls that could be used
in an awkward fashion to the detriment of the smooth flow of traffic through
the intersection. The parking prohibition will improve sight distance for
vehicles stopped on Morningside Drive attempting to cross College Street.
