Portions of several streets throughout the under development Creekfall Phase 3 subdivision in Burnet have been designated as “no parking” zones to ensure safe flows for traffic and emergency vehicles.
City Manager David Vaughn told City Council during a Tuesday, June 9, meeting that parking would be prohibited on seven streets in the subdivision. They include the north side of Big Sugar Road, south sides of Gristmill and Wheel Horse roads, west sides of Prairie Dew, Desert, and Bridle roads, and east side of Hayburner Road.
Vaughn explained that there was a misapplication for the subdivision which allowed the streets in question to be 27 feet wide. Current city code requires streets to be a minimum of 31 feet wide.
Vaughn added that, if vehicles are parked on both sides of those streets, the flow of traffic and access for emergency vehicles could be a major concern.
“When you drive through there… it’s easy to envision with people parked on both sides that you’ll have a very difficult time,” he said. “Not only getting through with a pedestrian vehicle, but an ambulance or fire truck has to go through there.”
In addition to the zones being established, a $200 fine was approved for future violations.
