AGENDA FOR THE MEETING 1.Street Petition to make the 6500 block of Corbitt Ave, one-way going east. BACKGROUND: During the February 11, 2004 Traffic Commission Meeting, the Commissioners reviewed the petition from the 6500 block of Corbitt Neighborhood Association to make Corbitt Ave. (from Kingsland to Sutter) a one-way street going east and recommended contacting the residents on the adjacent blocks and asking them to provide their comments. During the March 10, 2004 Traffic Commission Meeting, the Commissioners considered the following: comments from residents affected by the request and comments from Police Department, narrowness of the street, and traffic counts. The Commissioners voted to table this item until they received the police accident reports for the last 3 years and more input from residents. UP DATE: On March 16, 2004, we received a phone call from Ms. Cushshon, resident at 6544 Avalon in agreement with the request. Currently, there are 5 residents against the request and 2 in favor. Please find attached the two police accident reports which cover the last 3 years, which are summarized as follows: ? August 5, 2000 the report refers to a bicycle striking a vehicle. ? August 31, 2002 the report refers to a parked car that was damaged by a driver who left the scene. The traffic counter was reinstalled to verify if the majority of the traffic goes east or westbound. The traffic westbound is about 60% greater than the traffic eastbound. It was verified that on or about 400 to 500 cars travel the street per day which is not an excessive amount compared with other residential streets of the same size. 1 V:\WP51\Mariela-Projects\Traffic Commission\agenda\2004\Agenda 4-7-04.doc
