INSTALLATION OF RED CURB —1060 WALNUT GROVE AVENUE SUMMARY On December 05, 2013 and February 06, 2014, the Traffic Commission reviewed a request from a resident regarding traffic conditions and access to the property at 1060 Walnut Grove Avenue. The resident's complaints described a lack of visibility when exiting and entering the property to and from Walnut Grove Avenue, which creates hazardous conditions. It had been requested that parking restrictions (red curbing) be installed in order to increase visibility for vehicles that are entering and exiting the driveway. At the meeting of December 05, 2013, the Traffic Commissioners motioned to table the item to the next Traffic Commission meeting to allow for additional outreach to nearby residents due to the number of residents present at the meeting being opposed to the additional parking restrictions that would result in the net loss of one parking space on Walnut Grove Avenue as well as restrictions to parking on the adjacent street, Landis View Lane. The item was brought back to the Traffic Commission meeting of February 06, 2014, where the Commission motioned that the item be tabled in order to allow staff to conduct a radar speed survey to determine the speed vehicles are traveling at and, if necessary, come up with possible traffic calming solutions. STAFF RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Traffic Commission take no further action on this request based on the results of all studies conducted at this site. Staff will ensure all existing red curbing within the area is repainted accordingly. 4. NEW BUSINESS A.
