ANC 1C Announcement - New Parking Regulations

[wreyno...@aol.com]

 

Dear Neighbors,

 

For you review from ANC 1C

 

1-    PARKING CHANGES COMING-DO YOU WANT THEM?

An ANC 1C Special Forum on Wednesday, January 18 at 7:00 PM at 2355 Ontario Road, NW (Mary’s Center).

 

 

 

New Parking Regulations.  ANC 1C Special Forum on Wednesday, January 18 at 7:00 PM at 2355 Ontario Road, NW (Mary’s Center).

 

What: ANC 1C Special Forum to review and receive public comment on proposed changes to parking regulations in Ward One.

When:  Wednesday, January 18 at 7:00 PM.

Where:  Mary’s Center for Maternal Care, 2355 Ontario Road, NW.

 

 

The District Department of Transportation is completing regulations that will provide three significant changes to parking regulations in Ward One.  There are three parts to these proposals, and briefly in no specific order:

 

+all residents of ward 1 eligible for an rpp sticker,

+every household in ward 1 would receive a visitor pass, and

+all zoned blocks would have one side of the street reserved for ward 1 residents during parking enforcement hours.

The regulations are under final review and will then go to the DC Council for a final vote.  At the bottom of this email is the relevant section of the parking regulations (Rulemaking) as currently proposed.

 

Also of importance is that these parking changes will go into effect unless there is opposition or a ‘opting out’ by the relevant Advisory Neighborhood Commission, as follows:

 

"In addition, the rulemaking clarifies that each Ward 1 Advisory Neighborhood Commission (ANC) may only “opt-out” from participating in the ERPP Program, and may do so simply by resolution, thereby eliminating the prior Rulemaking’s requirement for the ANC to utilize a notification and approval process for ascertaining support from residents for the ANC’s inclusion in the ERPP Program, and to include that specific information in the ANC resolution."

Thank you.

+++++++++  Excerpt of proposed Enhanced Residential Permit Parking regulations.

 

 

Chapter 24, STOPPING, STANDING, AND OTHER NON-MOVING VIOLATIONS, of Title 18, VEHICLES AND TRAFFIC, of the DCMR is amended as follows:

 

Section 2411, Residential Permit Parking, is amended as follows:

 

 

A new subsection 2411.25 is added to read as follows:

 

2411.25           An Enhanced Residential Permit Parking (ERPP) program shall be              established within the boundaries of Ward 1:

 

(a)                Each Ward 1 Advisory Neighborhood Commission (ANC) may implement an ERPP program within the ANC’s respective boundaries.  The ERPP program shall include the following elements:

 

(1)               One side of each residential block, or fifty percent (50%) of the parking spaces within the ANC boundaries, shall be reserved for Zone 1 Resident Only Parking; the opposite side of the residential block shall be designated as described in § 2411.1;

 

(2)               A motor vehicle without a valid Zone 1 parking sticker shall not park on any portion of a street in Ward 1 that has been reserved for Zone 1 Resident Only Parking under the process established in this regulation;

 

(3)               Any resident owning a vehicle registered at an address within the ERPP program area shall be eligible to apply for residential permit parking decals as provided by the Department of Motor Vehicles; and

 

(4)               All visitors within the ERPP area shall be eligible to participate in the visitor parking pilot program that the Director implements pursuant to § 2414.7;

 

(b)        Each Ward 1 ANC may, by resolution voted upon in accordance with the law governing ANCs, choose not to participate in the ERPP program. Absent such a resolution, all of the provisions of § 2411.25(a) shall apply to each residential block of the Ward 1 ANC unless prohibited by § 2411.25(c) or § 2411.25(d;

(c)       Any blocks within a streetscape construction project impact zone in Ward 1 shall be excluded from the ERPP program until the Director of the District Department of Transportation declares that all major construction associated with the streetscape construction project impact zone is complete; and.

(d)       For purposes of this section, the phrase “streetscape construction project impact zone” means an area designated by the District Department of Transportation where, due to the nature and duration of a streetscape project (that is, a roadway construction project on a commercial street), a local or small business as defined in D.C. Official Code §§ 2-218.31 and 2-218.32 (2011 Repl.) may experience demonstrated losses during the construction period.
