    City of Sedona ArizonaSedona AZ (April 21, 2017) – The city of Sedona will soon begin implementing permit parking only in the Shadow Estates neighborhood area at the northern portion of Soliders Pass Road.

    Sedona and surrounding destinations in northern Arizona receive high numbers of visitors. In Sedona this has resulted in higher traffic volume and other challenges, impacting neighborhoods adjacent to popular trailheads and public access areas. In the Soldiers Pass Trailhead area, visitor demand outnumbers available U.S. Forest Service parking spaces resulting in overflow parking onto neighborhood streets. Impacts include constricted road access for passing vehicles and emergency service vehicles, blocked driveways, noise pollution and litter.

    Actively involved residents of the Shadow Estates area and the city of Sedona have been working together to develop methods to help alleviate street congestion and unsafe vehicle parking on neighborhood streets in the Shadow Estates area. The City Council considered options to address these issues through several public hearings and council actions. In February 2017 City Council approved the establishment of permit parking restrictions in the Shadow Estates area.

    Once street signs are installed, parking on public streets and public right-of-way will be restricted to vehicles displaying a parking placard. To help share the administrative load of the permit system, the city will work through the area homeowners association to distribute parking placards to residents in the area where parking restrictions apply. 

    Signs will be placed in the Shadow Estates area to identify streets and public right-of-way areas restricted to permit parking. Placement is expected to occur by April 24. The following streets will be restricted to permit parking only: Rim Shadows Drive, Canyon Shadows Drive, Shadow Circle, Pinon Shadows Circle and a section of Soldiers Pass Road.

    Analyzing City’s Legal Right to
    Ban OHVs on Public Roads

    By Tommy Acosta
    Mea Culpa! Mea Culpa! Mea Maxima Culpa! I screwed up. Blew it. Totally made a fool of myself. Missed the boat. I am talking about my editorial on the OHV fight, No Legal Traction on OHVs. I assumed that it was ADOT that would make a decision on whether the city could legally ban off road vehicles from our public roads like S.R. 89A and S.R. 179. Man was I off. ADOT has nothing to do with allowing or disallowing the city to do so. ADOT’s response to me when I asked them to clarify their position, was curt and to the point. “ADOT designs, builds and maintains the state highway system,” I was told. “It is not our place to offer an opinion on how state law might apply in this matter.” It was a totally “duh” moment for me when I realized that that the decision or judgement on the OHV ordinance, would involve the state and not ADOT. Chagrinned I stand. The crux of the matter then is whether the city can effectively use a number of standing state laws that can be interpreted to determine whether the city can legally ban the vehicles or not.
