Request for a Parking Restriction on the east side of Melville north of Kingsbury Blvd during the construction of the Centennial Greenway. Please find attached a traffic request form submitted on October 28, 2010 by Mr. and Mrs. Wiant, residents at 6369 Pershing Avenue. Mr. Jim Wiant and Mrs. Timmie Wiant are requesting that parking on the east side of Melville Avenue from Kingsbury Ave to the north be restricted, during construction of the Centennial Greenway. This request intends to return Melville Avenue into a two- way traffic street especially for Parkview Place subdivision resident’s use. Construction of the Centennial Greenway on Melville Avenue from Kingsbury Avenue to Delmar Blvd started October 1, 2010, and is scheduled to be completed in this section of the trail by December 2010. Once improvements are completed at the intersection of Kingsbury Avenue and Melville Avenue, the Parkview subdivision will be accessible through Kingsbury Avenue. If Kingsbury Avenue is opened to traffic to enter the subdivision, parking restriction on Melville will not be necessary. 2. Request to eliminate the 7000, 7100 and 7200 blocks of Pershing Avenue strict enforcement zone. Council Liaison Terry Crow requested that the Traffic Commission consider recommending to the City Council that the traffic restrictions currently in place on Pershing Avenue that relates to “No Tolerance Zone - Strict Enforcement” be removed. The “Strict Enforcement” signs were put into effect on temporary basis during the Metro Project. There is no ordinance supporting this restriction. Currently these three (3) blocks of Pershing have “Speed Limit 20 mph” signs and “Strict Enforcement Zone – Double fines” signs. A work order could be sent to the Public Works - Street Division to remove the “Strict Enforcement Zone – Double Fines” signs on Pershing Avenue after the Traffic Commission approves. The Public Works and Police Department consider that a speed limit of 20 mph is recommended at this location due to its proximity to the Flynn Park Elementary School. If that speed limit remains, an amendment to the Chapter 10.36.040 School Zones Designated will be necessary to add Pershing to the School Zone. 3. Request to install a one-way sign on the alley connecting the 6500 block of Julian Avenue Please find attached a traffic request form submitted on October 5, 2010 by Mr. Alexander Smith, resident at 6600 Raymond Avenue, City of Pagedale (just north of Julian Ave – University City).
