Mrs. Head, resident of Paradise Drive, has requested red curb "No Parking' on E. 8'h Street at
Paradise Drive to improve visibility for drivers. Mrs. Head states that it is difficult to exit
Paradise Drive onto E. 8th Street when vehicles are parked too close to the intersection. She is
concerned about safety.
Staff performed a site evaluation. This segment of E. 8t'' Street is a four lane roadway with a
posted speed limit of 35 mph. Paradise Drive intersects E. 8th Street from the south, creating a
"T'. There is approximately 30 feet of red curb on E. 8th Street directly west of Paradise Drive
and 25 feet of red curb directly east. Review of traffic collision data indicates no "reported"
accidents at this intersection over the past three years.
Based on existing conditions, staff recommends installing an additional 30 feet of red curb "No
Parking" to the west of the intersection, which would result in the Toss of one parking space.
The house fronting the area for additional red curb has three off-street parking spaces.
Staff recommends installation of 30 feet of additional red curb "No Parking" on E. 8th Street,
west of Paradise Drive to enhance safety and improve visibility for drivers.
All work will be completed by City Public Works.
