TC - Item 3C - Request to Install Parking Restrictions at Marshall Street/Earle AvenueTO: TRAFFIC COMMISSION FROM: CHRIS MARCARELLO, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR DATE: MAY 12, 2011 REQUEST O INSTALL PARKING RESTRICTIO STREETIEARLE AVENUE SUMMARY A request was received for the Traffic Commission to review traffic conditions at the intersection of Marshall Street and Earle Avenue. Several residents in the neighborhood indicated that cars parked at this location create an unsafe turning movement from Earle Avenue to Marshall Street. They are requesting the installation of red curb to improve visibility. Staff Recommendation It is recommended that the Traffic Commission recommend to the City Council that approximately 12 feet of red curbing be installed at the west side of the intersection at Earle Avenue and Marshall Street. ANALYSIS Marshall Street is a 40 foot wide roadway between the western City limit and Walnut Grove Avenue. On- street parking is generally open on both sides of the street with the exception of street sweeping parking restrictions and some designated no parking areas. There is one travel lane for westbound and eastbound traffic. The speed limit is 35 mph along the street. Recently, residents in this area expressed concerns regarding unsafe turning movements from Earle Avenue onto Marshall Street. They maintain that visibility concerns, coupled with on- street parking provide for unsafe conditions in the area. Attachment 1 includes a neighborhood overview and pictures showing the existing conditions. During field observations, staff observed that when vehicles are parked along the west side of intersection of Earle Avenue and Marshall Street, it is difficult to see oncoming traffic. This creates a potentially unsafe driving condition for vehicles in the area. As a result, it is recommended that parking restrictions be added at this location. Staff delivered notification postcards to residents in the vicinity of this intersection informing them of the proposed improvements.
