Request to prohibit parking across from a private driveway on Partridge between Willow Tree Ln. and Raymond Ave. Chairperson Paterson explained that this item was considered at the January 2010 Traffic Commission meeting. However, it was tabled to make sure that all traffic commissioners have the opportunity to visit the location and experience the traffic volumes and speed. Ms. Marian Sharpe, resident at 7131 Willow Tree Lane provided the commissioners with a document supporting the request to prohibit on the east side of Partridge Ave, south of Willow Tree Lane. She stated that Ms. Johnson, property owner of 7100 Willow Tree Lane, struggles to exit from her driveway encountering several different ways of traffic heading her way. The immediate traffic for north and southbound Partridge Avenue includes drivers coming from Dover and Camden Courts, Forest Green Court, Hazelwood Lane, Willow Tree Lane, Raymond Avenue, University Forest Nursing Home and Good Sheppard Children and Family Services. In addition, there are no stop signs for southbound Partridge near the 1300 block of Partridge, and therefore, there are speeding problems. Vehicles parked on the east side of Partridge directly across from the driveway of 7100 Willow Tree add to the stress of drivers attempting to safely exit the driveway in question. University Forest Nursing Home and Good Sheppard Children and Family Services have enough parking spaces to offer to visitors and employees, therefore, there is no need to park on Partridge Ave. Ms. Moore, resident at 7114 Willow Tree Lane spoke in favor of implementing the parking restriction on the east side of Partridge as requested, to improve driving conditions for Partridge drivers.
