Based on preliminary angled parking layout plans designed by City traffic engineers , it
was estimated that 30 additional spaces could be provided on 8 Street between Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue and Long Beach Boulevard , 43 additional spaces could be provided on 9 Street between Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue and Elm Avenue, 25 additional spaces could be provided on Street between Chestnut Avenue and Long Beach Boulevard, and 30 additional spaces could be provided on 16 Street between San Francisco Avenue and Daisy Avenue.
