REQUEST TO INSTALL PARKING RESTRICTIONS— MISSION DRNEffOMIK CIRCLE summABY The Traffic Commission received a request from a resident on Tomik Circle to review traffic conditions and sight visibility at the intersection of Mission Drive and Tomik Circle. Residents in this area describe a lack of visibility when exiting Tomik Circle to turn onto Mission Drive. They maintain that the visibility problems create hazardous conditions coupled with heavy traffic and vehicle speeds on Mission Drive. It has been requested that parking restrictions (red curbing) be installed to increase visibility for vehicles when exiting Tomik Circle. Staff Recommendation It is recommended that the Traffic Commission recommend to the City Council that approximately 15 feet of red curbing be added to either side of the main driveway of Tomik Circle at the intersection of Mission Drive. B. REQUEST TO REVIEW TRAFFIC CONDITIONS AT THE INTERSECTION OF JACKSON AVENUE AND GARVALIA AVENUE SUMMARY A request was received for the Traffic Commission to review traffic and safety conditions at the intersection of Jackson Avenue and Garvalia Avenue. The request noted that vehicle speeding and school pedestrian activity pose potential safety concerns at the location. A traffic study was conducted at the location, including a warrant study to determine if the installation of stop controls were necessary. After studying the location, it was determined that the intersection did not meet minimum volume or accident thresholds for the installation of stop controls. However, the study did determine that that the addition of traffic calming enhancements would help to slow vehicle traffic in this area. Staff Recommendation It is recommended that the Traffic Commission recommend to the City Council that traffic calming enhancements be installed on Jackson Avenue in between Graves Avenue and Fern Avenue to help increase traffic and pedestrian safety.
