PREPARED BY: Kenneth Fernandez, P.E., Acting Assistant Civil Engineer,
Engineering and Public Works Department, Engineering Division
DISCUSSION:
Ms, Maria Erickson, resident of 2535 "B" Avenue, has requested the installation of time -
and day -restricted "No Parking Street Sweeping" signage on both sides of E. 26th Street
between "B" Avenue and "D" Avenue, and on the east side of "B" Avenue north of E. 26th
Street to improve scheduled weekly street sweeping access. According to Ms. Erickson,
the street is not properly swept due to the number of vehicles regularly parked on the
street. Ms. Erickson also stated that the amount of vehicles parked on the street often
times nearly occupies a majority of available public parking regardless of the time or day
of the week.
Two citizen -initiated petitions were created and distributed around the neighborhood.
Both petitions clearly stated the action being requested and specific location of said
action. It was then submitted to Engineering staff for review. Staff analyzed the petitions
and ascertained that the neighborhood demonstrated enough interest to move forward
with the process of installing 'No Parking" signage for street sweeping purposes.
Staff visited the site after the petition was received. The neighborhood is composed of
single-family, multiple -family, apartment complexes, condominium, and commercial
properties. Given the observed amount of vehicles parking on the public street, staff
agrees that the installation of time- and day -restricted "No Parking" signage for the
purposes of weekly street sweeping access would be beneficial to the neighborhood and
maintenance of the street. Engineering staff consulted with its Public Works Division and
determined tree street sweeping vehicle is scheduled to be in this area every week on
Tuesday between the hours of 7:00 AM and 9:00 AM with the exception of City holidays.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the following improvements to enhance street sweeping efficiency on
both sides of E. 26th Street between "B" Avenue and "D" Avenue, and on the east side of
"B" Avenue north of E. 26th Street:
1. Install "No Parking" signage on poles with time- and day -restricted verbiage (i.e.
Every Tuesday between 7:00 AM and 9:00 AM; Holidays Excluded) with "Start"
and "End" indicators on the public right-of-way at strategic locations.
