5. COMMISSIONER REPORTS
Commissioner Masuda thanked staff for replacing the sign on Muscatel Avenue. Mr.
Masuda mentioned that he was approached by a resident that lives on Encinita across the
street from the park and asked if they can install Parking T's in front of her house to avoid
people from parking over their driveway.
Commissioner Russell- Chavez informed staff that she was approached by a San Gabriel
Fire fighter and was informed that the sidewalk next to the Fire Station is damaged. He also
mentioned if it would be possible to have a "Keep Clear" installed in front of the station
because San Gabriel Blvd gets so congested and cars block their driveway and don't allow
them to exit when responding to a call.
Chair Hall mentioned that there was a sign installed on the north side of Marshall Street and
Muscatel Avenue that says" No Parking on Thursdays for street sweeping" and she would
like for staff to look into it because she recalls there was a sign that said "No Parking on
this side of the street ".
