E. MARGARET DUFF SCHOOL - ADDED REGULATIONS
Traffic Engineer Envall presented the recommendation of the Traffic
Commission as follows:
1) The placement of a crosswalk across Del Mar Avenue at Dorothy
Street was discouraged and supported by Mr. Davis (principal) since
it would create a false sense of security so close to protected
signalized location of Emerson Street and Hellman Avenue. In conjunc-
tion with 'this, it is recommended the existing coosswalk across
Del Mar Avenue at Hershey Street one block north of Dorothy Street
and one block south of the signal at HellmanAvenue be rescinded and
removed as it does encourage pedestrian crossing away from the full
protection afforded by the Hellman Avenue traffic signal.
2) The placement of additional school signs on Del Mar Avenue is not
permitted since it is not contiguous to the school. However, it is
recommended the existing school signs on Dorothy Street be upgraded
and the east bound sign relocated to the east line of Del Mar Avenue.
3) Del Mar Avenue from Hellman Avenue south has been ordered repainted
this dated.
4) It is recommended the City crew remove the volunteer elm tree
located in the parkway on the east side of Del Mar Avenue 100 feet
south of Dorothy Street to improve visibility for the exiting
traffic from Dorothy Street east approach.
5) In order to eliminate a possible cross conflict between vehicle-
vehicle and vehicle-pedestrian, boulevard stop signs are recommended
on the first alley east of Del Mar Avenue at the north and south
approaches to Dorothy Street which is adjacent to the Margaret Duff
Elementary School. As an added safety feature, it is recommended
upon reconstruction of Del Mar Avenue that the 10 foot easement
substandard alley entering Del :tar Avenue from the west approach at
the south line of premises #3253 be redesigned as a driveway
entrance at Del Mar Avenue eliminating the alley return.
