CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE REPORT TO PUBLIC SAFETY ADVISORY COMMISSION TO: CHAIRMAN AND COMMISSION MEMBERS FROM: MARK DENNIS, INFORMATION/COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER DATE: SEPTEMBER 12, 2007 SAFETY REGULATIONS FOR NEWSSTANDS IN THE PUBLIC RIGHT- OF-WAY SUBJECT: BACKGROUND This item is to follow-up on a citizen's request during the August 8th meeting. The issue is regulating newsstands that are in the public-right-of-way to maintain safety for pedestrians, or the disabled. DISCUSSION ",- Curbside newsstands in front of the Lake Elsinore Post Office on Graham Avenue impede pedestrians both on the sidewalk and at curbside and preclude motorists from entering or exiting their parked cars at curbside. Newsstands positioned on a public sidewalk or at the curb may create conditions ranging from visual nuisance, or inconvenience, to a public safety hazard. The City Attorney will comment on options available to the City for regulating newsstands that are in the public right-of-way. The goals are to ensure that any newsstand in the public right-of-way: I. Is properly positioned to meet City standards for public access; 2. Does not impede curbside access to parked vehicles; 3. Does not interfere with pedestrian access or use of public sidewalks; 4. Meets standards to withstand vandalism so as not to become a public nuisance. FISCAL IMPACT Unknown at this time.
