SUMMARY
The Traffic Commission has received a request from the Superintendent of the Garvey

It is recommended that the Traffic Commission propose to the City Council the removal

Elementary for a loading and unloading zone.
EXISTING CONDITIONS
Willard Elementary School is located on the east side of Willard Avenue (see Attachment
2). There are two parking lots with the staff parking lot just south of the main school
building and the parent/visitor parking lot, which is also utilized as a drop-off/pick-up zone,
south of the staff parking lot.
Willard Avenue is considered a local street that is approximately 35-feet wide and has a
posted speed limit sign of 25 miles per hour for northbound traffic. There is one lane in
each direction with a marked center line starting at the approach to the intersection of
Dorothy Street and Rockhold Avenue. Parking is permitted on the west side of Willard
Avenue with loading zones, and green and red curbs along the front of the school site on
the east side of Willard Avenue. Land use along Willard Avenue is primarily medium
density residential with public facilities.
PUBLIC NOTICE PROCESS
This item has been noticed through the regular agenda notification process, which
includes a 300-foot radius notice to 78 property owners and postings of the notice at the
six public locations (see Attachment 4).
