Mr. Chris Warburton, project manager for the new Pacific View Estates
development located on Division Street and Fig Court, is concerned that the new
homeowners will have difficulty exiting their driveways due to the speed of traffic
on Division Street.
Staff recently installed an overhead radar speed feedback sign with flashing
beacon assembly for eastbound traffic on Division Street, west of Palm Avenue,
as part of a Safe Routes to School grant project. Mr. Warburton mentioned that
the Pacific View Estates developer may be interested in contributing towards a
smaller -scale speed feedback sign / flashing beacon assembly for westbound
traffic upon completion of the project.
As an immediate action, staff recommends installing approximately 1,400 feet of
8"-wide parking lane striping on the north side of Division Street from Gilbert
Lane to the west to provide a buffer between parked vehicles / vehicles exiting
the private driveways and through traffic. The outside travel lane is 19 feet wide
which allows for an 11-foot travel lane and an 8-foot parking lane.
Pacific View Estates supports staffs recommendation and has agreed to install
the striping, under the supervision of City Public Works and Engineering.
