(3)

The street immediately adjacent to both the public school and block cannot be part of the state highway system as that term is defined in C.R.S. § 43-2-101, as amended.

If all of the above criteria are met, the traffic engineer may designate the block as a restricted parking area adjacent to an affected public school.

(1)

The block shall be immediately adjacent to a public park in, on or immediately adjacent to which there are pavilions, buildings or other publicly owned facilities the use of which generates traffic in excess of that normally associated with a public park that does not contain or is not located immediately adjacent to such parking facilities; and

(2)

A written petition signed by no less than two-thirds of the property owners of the block shall be submitted to the traffic engineer requesting that the block be designated as a restricted parking area; and

(3)

Residences shall be located in the block; and

If the block is located on a cul-de-sac or dead-end street, the traffic engineer must certify that other area parking, not located on a cul-de-sac or dead-end street, is sufficient to meet parking needs created by the use of the public park; and

(5)

The street immediately adjacent to both the public park and block cannot be part of the state highway system as that term is defined in C.R.S. § 43-2-101, as amended.

If all of the above criteria are met, the traffic engineer may designate the block as a restricted parking area adjacent to an affected public park.
