SUBJECT: REQUEST TO INSTALL RED CURB—8336 MISSION DRIVE
SUMMARY
The Traffic Commission received a request from a resident living at 8336 Mission Drive to paint
a minimum of 5-feet of red curb on the east and west side of her driveway. The resident's
complaint describes a lack of visibility due to vehicles parking along the curb, in front of her
residence, obstructing the view of oncoming traffic, which creates a hazardous condition for her
and her family members to reverse out of the driveway. The resident also stated that on trash
pick-up days, the vehicles are parked too close to her driveway leaving her no place to put her
trash cans. On September 7, 2017, the Traffic Commission reviewed the traffic conditions and
recommended the installation of 5-feet of red curb on the east and west side of the driveway
apron.
DISCUSSION
A resident living at 8336 Mission Drive submitted a request for red curbing to be installed on the
east and west side of her driveway apron. The resident stated that vehicles are parking too close
to the property's driveway apron, blocking the view of oncoming traffic, which makes it difficult
for her and her family members to reverse out of the driveway.
Mission Drive is considered a minor arterial roadway that is approximately 60-feet wide and has
a posted speed limit sign of 40 miles per hour for westbound travelers. Mission Drive has a
double yellow center line. Parking is permitted on both sides of the roadway except along the
curb in front of the Sally Tanner Park on the north side of Mission Drive. Land use along
Mission Drive is defined as medium density residential with public facilities. North of Mission
Drive is the Sally Tanner Park.
Staff reviewed the request and determined that the curb east of property driveway apron is
approximately 34-feet in length and the curb west of the property driveway apron is
approximately 32-feet in length. By installing approximately 5-feet of red curb east and west of
the driveway apron, accessibility and sight issues will be mitigated without any significant
parking implications.

trash cans. The curb in front of the resident's property east of her driveway is approximately 34-
feet in length and approximately 32-feet in length west of her driveway, this would accommodate
