Atchison street goes no parking

(KAIR)--One section of an Atchison street goes no parking, while a second such request for a section of a separate street will not proceed.

That happened Monday during the meeting of the Atchison City Commission where the matter regarding the requests to make both the 1200 and 1300 blocks of South 9th Street, and Riley Street between Washington Street and 2nd Street, no parking was again addressed after being tabled at the Commission's July 7 meeting.

Ultimately, following discussion and input from the requesting party regarding a resolution being reached, it was decided to drop the South 9th Street change while proceeding with the ordinance to make the Riley Street section no parking.

Both streets have widths of 15 feet, the same as that for an average Atchison alley, with that fact leading to a wider discussion regarding the width of other city streets. Atchison City Manager Mark Westhoff told the Commission he agrees that must be assessed in the future.

The resolution making Riley Street between Washington Street and 2nd Street no parking was approved unanimously.
