Mr. Eric Peterson has requested installation of red curb "no parking" in front of his residence at
2311 S. Lanoitan Ave to improve visibility when exiting his driveway. Mr. Peterson states that when
vehicles park adjacent to his driveway visibility is obscured. He stated that most of the parking
impacts are related to parents picking up / dropping off their children, as Lincoln Acres Elementary
School is located directly across the street from Mr. Peterson's house. While the City previously
installed approximately 330 feet of Passenger Loading Zone adjacent to the school, some parents
chose to load across the street. He is concerned about the safety of the children. Review of traffic
collision history indicated no `reported" accident within recent years.
Staff performed a site evaluation and recommended installing 20 feet of red curb south of Mr.
Peterson's driveway and 10 feet north of the driveway to improve visibility and discourage drivers
from blocking his driveway.
In addition to Mr. Peterson, Mr. and Mrs. Sandoval, residents of 2303 S. Lanoitan Avenue, and Mr.
Mikoczi, resident of 2321 S. Lanoitan Avenue, attended the Traffic Safety Committee Meeting held
on May 8, 2013. All of these residents requested installation of red curb No Parking" in front of
their properties to discourage parents from parking on the east side of the street. They want to
encourage parents to drop-off/pick-up their children on the west side of the street, adjacent to the
school, for safety.
The Traffic Safety Committee voted unanimously to amend the staff recommendation to include
installation of 165 feet of red curb "No Parking" with signage in front of 2303, 2311, and 2321 S.
Lanoitan Avenue.
If approved, all work will be performed by the City Public Works Department.
