RE: Request for Parking Restrictions on the South Side of
Grand Avenue between Halkett Avenue and Bartlett Avenue
BACKGROUND
At the last Traffic Commission meeting, a request for red curb was discussed for
the south side of Grand Avenue in the vicinity of 8620 Grand Avenue. The initial
request was from Mr. Henry Sakaida to extend red curb at the driveway to his
nursery. Ms. Lydia Apocada, 8636 Grand Avenue, also called with a concern for
vehicles parking in the immediate vicinity of her driveway. With these requests,
staff initially recommended the installation of red curb on both sides of the
driveways on Grand Avenue between Halkett Avenue and Bartlett Avenue.
Ms. Carolyn Garcia, 8658 Grand Avenue, sent a letter with concerns regarding
the vehicles from the Pacific Bell facility parked on Grand Avenue on a daily
basis.
Discussions at the Traffic Commission meeting revealed the residents present
(Mr. Sakaida, Ms. Apocada and Ms. Garcia) indicated they felt a time limit
parking restriction on the south side of Grand Avenue would be most beneficial.
Ms. Roselie Calderon of Pacific Bell requested the Traffic Commission delay
taking any action on this issue until she could discuss this issue with the
managers of the facility. Ms. Calderon requested the delay so those questions
brought up during the Traffic Commission's discussion could be addressed.
These questions included "What are the future plans for accommodating all
employee parking on site?" "is this 'boom' in employment expected to continue
and are additional employees anticipated ? ", "Is there a way to 'encourage'
employees to park on the north side of the street ? ".
The Traffic Commission voted to delay action on this item until the November 2,
2000 meeting.
Refer to the staff reported dated September 25, 2000 (attached).

DATA
Refer to the staff reported dated September 25, 2000 (attached).
DISCUSSION
Based on last month's discussions and the concerns and needs of the residents,
it appears that a time limit parking restriction on the south side of Grand Avenue
would be appropriate at this time. A time limit parking restriction would direct
Pacific Bell employees to park on the north side of the street and allow more
,. open" on street parking, on the south side of Grand Avenue. However, until
Pacific Bell responds to questions posed at last month's meeting, a time limit
parking restriction may not be appropriate in the long term.
RECOMMENDATION
Unless significant information regarding the Pacific Bell facility is received, the
installation of a "2 Hour Parking 8 AM to 5 PM Monday — Friday" restriction is
recommended on the south side of Grand Avenue between Halkett Avenue and
Bartlett Avenue.
It is further recommended that an additional 5 feet of red curb be added on the
south side of Grand Avenue west of the driveway of the Sakaida Nursery. This
recommendation is shown on Exhibit A -1.
