Scoop Shop No Parking
Starting from the intersection of South Friendswood Drive and East Castlewood Avenue and
moving along Castlewood Avenue the City proposes to paint curbs in red and place accompanying
"No Parking" signs to moderate congestion and dissuade vehicles from parking in unfavorable
locations.
The Friendswood Scoop Shop has recently opened its doors for commercial business and sees a
customer base that challenges the available parking on site. Due to the limited availability of
parking on location many customers opt to park along East Castlewood Ave, this causes congestion
and limits the operational capacity of the intersection traffic light. While a parking lot agreement
has been made with the neighboring Chiropractic Clinic, parking and congestion continues to be
an issue along East Castlewood Avenue. The City aims to paint various curbs red and install
accompanying signage in order to restrict parking along Castlewood in a method less obtrusive to
the flow of traffic. A graphic of the intended painting lines and locations can be found in Exhibit
A below.
Ordinance 300 should be amended to reflect the addition of red painted curbs and signage
indicating no parking along Castlewood in order to support the police department in enforcing it.
