REQUEST FOR INSTALLATION OF 80 FEET OF RED CURB
"NO PARKING" AT THE BUS STOP LOCATED ON
NORTHBOUND D AVENUE AT E. 26TH STREET (BY: L.
MARTINEZ)
PREPARED BY: Stephen Manganiello, Engineering Division
DISCUSSION:
Ms. Loretta Martinez, resident of 425 Orrell Drive, has requested installation of red curb
"No Parking" for the bus stop located on northbound D Avenue at E. 26th Street
(nearside of intersection).
Ms. Martinez mentioned that it's difficult to board the bus when vehicles park adjacent to
the curb. She believes red curb should be installed to remind drivers not to park at the
bus stop.
Staff visited the site and confirmed that currently no red curb is provided at the bus stop.
However, approximately 80 feet of red curb "No Parking" exists at the bus stop located
across the street for southbound service.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
To enhance safety and ADA access at the bus stop located on northbound D Avenue at
E. 26th Street, staff recommends the installation of 80 feet of red curb "No Parking".
