WHEREAS, after conducting an inspection and review, staff has confirmed
that during morning peak periods, the traffic queuing does occur along the westbound
lanes of W. 8th Street, east of Harbor Drive and recommends installing "KEEP CLEAR"
pavement markings on the westbound and eastbound travel lanes of W. 8th Street, in
front of the ingress and egress driveway of the 8th Street Transit Center, would reduce

spoke in support of the item during the Traffic Safety Committee Meeting; and
