TITLE
Recommendation to respectfully request that City Council request City Manager to examine methods that would increase parking spaces on Pine Avenue from Pacific Coast Highway to Willow Street; and request City Manager to seek community input in developing a solution to parking impact and consider diagonal parking in this neighborhood on Pine Avenue.
 
DISCUSSION
Throughout Long Beach, we have communities with severe parking shortages, especially in the Parking Impacted Areas. In these areas, it is imperative that we consider creative approaches to increase on-street parking. One approach, as requested by some residents on Pine Avenue, would be to allow residents to park diagonally on the street with the goal of increasing the number of spaces that can be used. While this sounds simple, we need to ensure that we have adequate public input regarding this solution.
 
SUGGESTED ACTION
Approve recommendation.
 
 
Respectfully Submitted,
