Advisor Envall informed the Council that studies have been made of this location and recommended the following: Clearance of shrubbery growth and overhanging trees to aid sight distance for southbound motorists on Bartlett Avenue entering Marshall Street. Also, children walking from the north side of Marshall Street will have better view of westbound vehicular movements at the crosswalk. Personal contact was made with the property owners on the north side of Marshall Street east of Bartlett Avenue, and they all stated they would cooperate in the clearance of shrubbery and trees. 2. Recommend the removal of the crosswalk at the east line of Bartlett Avenue in order to concentrate all school pedestrian crossings at the one location which has the better approach visibility. 3. Make a concentrated effort to obtain sidewalks on the north and south sides of Marshall Street extending east and west of Bartlett Avenue. 4. Place "No Stopping Anytime" signs on the north side of Marshall Street extending between Bartlett Avenue and the Rubio Wash, with instructions to the property owners on the north side of Marshall Street east of Bartlett Avenue to park their cars in the driveway as far as possible so that sight distance would be available at all hours of the day and night to aid vehicular movements backing from driveways and vehicles entering Marshall Street from the north approach of Bartlett Avenue. The reason for this recommendation is that the curve cannot be modified and therefore the problem does exist during the greater Dart of the day and night. 5. Relocate the "S" curve sign and advisory "Slow to 20 MPH" sign on the north side of Marshall Street from its present location at the west line of Muscatel Avenue to a point 85 feet westerly. 6. Place a "School Crossing" sign on the-north side of Marshall Street adjacent to advance pavement markings for westbound traffic, with a sign on the south side west of the intersection optional. - 3 - C • • 10-24-63 7.
