REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: RON MOLENDYK, CITY MANAGER
DATE: JUNE So 1993
SUBJECT: PARKING PROHIBITION ON LAKESHORE DRIVE AND CORYDON STREET
Several traffic investigations were conducted in response to
citizens' complaints regarding vision being obscured by parked
vehicles.
One area of concern is located on Lakeshore Drive along the
commercial `property between Riverside 'Drive and Wise Street,
especially in "front of the Stater Brothers Shopping Center. Trucks
and large vehicles are parking on the street along the curb,
sometimes through an entire weekend. These large vehicles obscure .
vision sight lines for motorists exiting driveways and for
motorists travelling on Lakeshore Drive approaching the driveways.
The other -area of concern is located on .Corydon Street where, it has "
been widened by a residential subdivision between Palomar Street
and a point 450 feet south of Lakeside Drive. Trucks and large
vehicles are parking on the street along, the curb, frequently over
night. These large vehicles lobscure vision sight lines for
motorists exiting the intersections of Lakeside Drive and Corydon .
Street - and Palomar Street and . Corydon Street. The drivers of
these parked trucks appear to be sleeping in their vehicles causing
the nearby residents to feel that their privacy is being invaded
from truck drivers peering into their yards.
ANALYSIS /DISCUSSION
The large vehicles that have been parking in the subject areas
interfere with the sight lines of motorists entering and exiting
the driveways and the intersecting cross streets. Obstruction of
driver sight lines should be eliminated in order to increase
safety. Both areas of concern provide adequate parking for their
intended land uses and street parking is not necessary.
Parking should be prohibited to enhance traffic safety as follows:
NAME OF STREET SIDE OF STREET LOCATION OF NO PARKING ZONE
Corydon Street West Palomar Street to 450 feet south
