City Manager Owens reported that during recent discussions regarding restricting parking in a portion of the Moorlands, it was suggested that a portion of the No Parking on the east side of Westwood Drive, south of Wydown, could be relaxed to allow some parking just north of Byron Avenue. After review, the Public Works Department concurs that a portion of the No Parking on the east side of Westwood Drive just north of Byron Avenue could be relaxed to allow some additional parking. The Public Works Department is recommending the Board of Aldermen adopt revised parking restrictions on the east side of Westwood Drive to allow additional parking in the half block north of Byron. Should the Board of Alderman desire to proceed with the proposed revised restrictions, an ordinance has been prepared to do so. Passage of this ordinance would be necessary to codify the proposed revised on-street parking restrictions on the east side of Westwood Drive.
