NATIONAL CITY TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMITTEE
AGENDA REPORT FOR DECEMBER 5, 2012
ITEM TITLE:
i ITEM NO. 2012-28 l
REQUEST FOR RED CURB "NO PARKING" ON E. 8TH
STREET AT PARADISE DRIVE TO ENHANCE SAFETY AND
IMPROVE VISIBILITY FOR DRIVERS (BY M. HEAD)
PREPARED BY: Stephen Manganiello, City Engineer
DISCUSSION:
Mrs. Head, resident of Paradise Drive, has requested red curb "No Parking" on E. 8th
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. 8th 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 loss of one
parking space.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
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.
