Resolution No. 24-027
Authorize the removal of residential permit parking restrictions on
Natchez Avenue, Princeton Avenue and Vallacher Avenue
Whereas, the City of St. Louis Park established permit parking restrictions on select
streets in the Minikahda Vista neighborhood in 1989; 1990, 1992 and 2020; and,
Whereas, Resolution 20-008 supersedes all previous resolutions and includes permit
parking restrictions on the following street segments:
• The north side of Vallacher Avenue from the east right of way line of Quentin
Avenue to 140 feet east of the east right of way line of Natchez Avenue.
• The south side of Vallacher Avenue from the east right of way line of Quentin
Avenue to the west right of way line of Ottawa Avenue.
• The south side of Vallacher Avenue from the east right of way line of Natchez
Avenue to 140 feet east of the east right of way line of Natchez Avenue.
• Both sides of Princeton Avenue from 135 feet north of the north right of way line
of Vallacher Avenue to the north right of way line of 40th Street.
• Both sides of Natchez Avenue from 110 feet north of the north right of way line
of Vallacher Avenue to 130 feet south of the south right of way line of Vallacher
Avenue; and,
Whereas, the City of St. Louis Park staff initiated the public engagement, preliminary
and final design for the 2024 Pavement Management Project in the Minikahda Vista
neighborhood; and,
Whereas, the City of St. Louis Park staff engaged the properties with adjacent permit
parking restrictions to recommend removing the parking restrictions; and,
Whereas, the adjacent land uses along Excelsior Boulevard have changed and no longer
utilize on street parking in the neighborhood; and,
Whereas, on-street parking is a shared resource for the community and works best when
it can be more dynamic than static signage allows; and,
Whereas, review of the parking utilization indicates the number of cars utilizing the on-
street permit parking is significantly less than the available parking spaces; and,
Whereas, the City of St. Louis Park staff recommended rescinding Resolution No.20-008;
Now therefore, be it resolved by the city council of the City of St. Louis Park, Minnesota,
that Resolution No. 20-008 be rescinded.
