RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY
AUTHORIZING CHANGES TO CURBSIDE PARKING ON GRANGER AVENUE
AND EAST 20TH STREET ADJACENT TO GRANGER JR. HIGH SCHOOL
TO IMPROVE ACCESS FOR EMERGENCY VEHICLES AND PROVIDE
PASSENGER LOADING ZONES FOR STUDENT DROP-OFF/PICK-UP
WHEREAS, the Principal of Granger Jr High School has requested changes to
curbside parking on Granger Avenue and East 20th Street adjacent to the school to improve
access for emergency vehicles and provide passenger loading for student drop-off/pick-up; and
WHEREAS, the Principal is concerned about safety as parents often double-park
to drop-off/pick-up their children resulting in students walking between vehicles and crossing at
undesignated locations due to lack of designated passenger loading areas and parking constraints;
and
WHEREAS, staff from the National City Police and Engineering Departments met
with the Principal and her staff on numerous occasions to observe conditions during peak periods
and discussed potential solutions; and
WHEREAS, based on the results of these meetings and site evaluations, staff
recommends the following changes to curbside parking to improve access for emergency vehicles
and provide passenger loading for student drop-off/pick-up:
1. Install 100 feet of red curb with "No Parking Fire Lane" signage on Granger Avenue
in front of the school to allow for emergency vehicles access and to improve
visibility of students;
2. Install 120 feet of red curb with "School Bus Loading Only" signage on Granger
Avenue north of the school entrance to isolate the school bus loading area from
student drop-off/pick-up areas;
3. Replace 55 feet of yellow curb "Commercial Vehicle Loading" with red curb "No
Parking" on Granger Avenue south of East 20th Street to provide a total of 140 feet
of red curb "No Parking" for the MTS bus stop;
4. Install 160 feet of "3-Minute Passenger Loading" on Granger Avenue south of the
school entrance, restricted between the hours of 7:30am-8:30am and 2:30pm-
