Muscatel Avenue between Valley Boulevard and Mission Drive. The main concerns expressed were speeding vehicles, the volume of vehicles, and the lack of available parking. The Traffic
Commission asked staff to investigate these concerns along Muscatel Avenue. At this meeting, staff was asked to develop traffic calming solutions that can help to minimize the issues
of excessive speeding and on-street long-term parking conditions. In mid-January 2012 staff developed a parking demand and traffic study that included traffic counts, parking demand
analysis, and a three-year accident report. At the February 2, 2012 Traffic Commission meeting, the Traffic Commission asked that staff provide a recount of the parking demand study
to analyze parking capacity and usage during non street cleaning days. On Thursday, February 16, 2012 staff consultants recounted the on-street parking along Muscatel Avenue between
Valley Boulevard and Mission Drive. The results are presented below. Staff Recommendation It is recommended that the Traffic Commission approve staff recommended that the Traffic Commission:
