TITLE
Recommendation to adopt resolution to install angled parking on:
1. The south side of Loma Vista Drive between Daisy Avenue and Chestnut Avenue; and
2. The east side of Chestnut Avenue between Loma Vista Drive and Anaheim Street. (District 1)
DISCUSSION
The Traffic and Transportation Bureau received a request from the First City Council District office to evaluate various streets in parking-impacted neighborhoods north of downtown for possible conversion to angled parking. Through an engineering evaluation, it was determined that the south side of Loma Vista Drive between Daisy Avenue and Chestnut Avenue and the east side of Chestnut Avenue between Loma Vista Drive and Anaheim Street were viable candidate locations for conversion from parallel parking to angled parking.
Based on preliminary angled parking layout plans designed by Traffic Engineering Division staff, it was estimated that a total of 34 additional spaces could be provided through the implementation of angled parking on Loma Vista Drive east of Daisy Avenue and Chestnut Avenue south of Anaheim Street.
The City Traffic Engineer has also determined that the installation of angled parking on these street segments will have no adverse impacts on traffic circulation, safety, and the provision of public services.
Since the angled parking concepts for these street segments were initiated by the City, the City Traffic Engineer mailed notices containing the proposed parking layout plans to all of the impacted properties on the two street segments. The notice$ also-encouraged residents to contact staff with anylopinions, comments, or concerns about the proposed angled parking conversion and alerted them that the matter would be heard by the City Council. Of the 72 notices issued, to date the City Traffic Engineer has received two responses, both in support of the proposal.
The installation of angled parking spaces on the subject portions of Loma Vista Drive and Chestnut Avenue will be completed...
