Page 2 Minutes January 14, 2004 Traffic Commission Meeting Ms. Schiller stated that obviously it is a hard place to get in and out but she has the feeling that if they agree to give that location additional space (having already a nice driveway) they could start receiving the same petition from the building next to it (that has a driveway that comes out of the basement and is really small). Parking is already limited in the area. Mr. Gibson mentioned that the existing parking restriction is a fair amount of time for the people not to park. Businesses around should not be affected. The Traffic Commission voted to deny any restrictions on parking in front of 7320 Forsyth. 3.No Right turn at Intersection Canton and Quendo and Canton and Waldron Background: Mary Weber requested a “No Right Turn” at the intersection of Canton and Quendo and Canton and Waldron due to the tremendous amount of “cut through” traffic using the neighborhood to avoid using Midland to get to Canton. The Engineering Division recommended denying the request since the average volume of traffic for a residential street is around 200. The resident mentioned volumes of 50 cars per day. Discussion: Ms. Henderson is familiar with the area and understands that during the summer, the volume in residential streets is heavier. The Traffic Commission voted to install “SPEED LIMIT 25 MPH” at the beginning of 1300 block of Waldron, for northbound traffic and for police to patrol the area. 4.For information purposes: Street Petition to make the 6500 block of Corbitt Ave, one- way going east. The Commissioners mentioned the fact that Sutter Ave is under construction, and is affecting the residents in the area. This issue is going to be discussed on next month traffic meeting. The meeting was adjourned at 6:45 p.m. Minutes prepared by Mariela Tapia, Secretary of the Traffic Commission V:\WP51\Mariela-Projects\Traffic Commission\minutes\2004\Minutes 1-14-04.doc
