INSTALLATION OF RED CURB AT LOFTUS/DUBONET SUMMARY In November 2010, the Traffic Commission reviewed a resident request to install parking restrictions (red curb) at the intersection of Loftus Drive and Dubonet Avenue. As is common with all requests for installing parking restrictions, staff distributed notification outreach cards to all properties in the immediate vicinity of the location. Three (3) residents attended the November Traffic Commission meeting and asked for further clarification regarding the proposed parking restrictions. After discussing this item and taking resident comments into consideration, the Commission voted to approve the installation request. This request was subsequently approved by the City Council and parking restrictions were installed in December. Since the installation, staff received a letter and petition from residents in this area asking that the Commission reconsider the installation of parking restrictions. Residents also asked that the City consider other traffic calming features in their neighborhood. In January, staff met on site with residents to further discuss these concerns and to ask them to attend the upcoming Traffic Commission meeting in February. Since this time, staff also completed several requests from the residents including replacing “25 MPH” road curve warning signs and repainting road markings in this neighborhood Staff Recommendation It is recommended that the Traffic Commission take public input and uphold the Commission’s previous decision to install restricted parking due to safety and visibility concerns. 4.
