ParkinQ Restriction for 8516 Olive Blvd <br /> <br />Please find attached a traffic request submitted by Francisco Coronel on April 22, 2008, requesting the <br />assignment of Customer parking only for business located at 8516 olive Blvd, in the City's ROW alley located in <br />the back of the building, in order to provide parking for his customers. <br /> <br />Mr. Coronel states that employees from next door businesses take all the parking spaces for the complete work <br />day and no parking spaces are available for customers. He request at least 3 parking spaces to be designated for <br />Customer Parking Only. <br /> <br />Currently, there is parking allowed in the back of the building except on Wednesdays from 7 am to 9 am for street <br />cleaning purposes, since that alley/parking area is on City's ROW. <br /> <br />Public Works is reviewing the possibility of a one-hour parking restriction being implemented in the rear of the <br />property for five (5) of the parking spaces to address the businesses' customer parking needs. <br /> <br />4. Speed control on Drexel Dr and Wilson Ave. <br /> <br />Please find attached a traffic request submitted by Holly Tasker on May 14, 2008, requesting speed control on <br />Drexel Dr (between Hanley Rd and Wilson Ave) and Wilson Rd (between Midland Ave and Shaftsbury Ave). <br /> <br />Mrs. Tasker states that many people use Drexel Dr. and Wilson Ave as a way to avoid Olive Blvd, between <br />Hanley Rd and Midland Blvd. Cars are often traveling very fast, especially as there is no stop sign at Drexel and <br />Hanley, or any other indication to reduce speed. Because there are no sidewalks on Drexel, it often seems <br />dangerous for children to play in the front yards. <br /> <br />Mrs. Tasker requested the following: <br /> <br />. A sign posting speed limit on Drexel Dr. - recommended <br />. Speed trailer on Drexel Dr. - recommended <br />. Speed bumps on Drexel Dr. and Wilson Ave. - not approved by the City due to damage that they <br />cause to emergency vehicles. <br />. Stop sign at Drexel Dr. at Wilson Ave. - not recommended to control speed of vehicles. <br /> <br />Public Works will install two (2) Speed limit signs on Drexel Dr at Wilson Ave and at Hanley Rd. in the month of <br />June 2008. <br />Also, a speed trailer has been placed to record traveling speed for a period of time. Results will be presented at <br />the meeting. <br /> <br />Public Works recommends that if speed control is not improved after the installation of the speed limit signs, Mrs. <br />Tasker notify Public Works Representative after 1 or 2 months to consider other actions to be taken to reduce the <br />speeding on Drexel Dr and Wilson Ave. <br /> <br />AGenda Traffic Commission MeetinG June 11, 2008 <br /> <br />PaGe 2 <br />
