e ''"'' ~ 63 I e I ,<;-' . I e I -- fT Ii -r~ . IT IS THE 'RECOMMENDATION OF THE COMMITTEE THAT THE ABOVE RESTRICTION BE PLACED ON PARKING ON ALMADEN' STREET BETWEEN 8TH AND 11TH AVENUES. C. PARKING ON 10TH AVENUE WEST ~ AN INVESTIGATION Of THE PARKING ON 10TH AVENUE WEST BETWEEN GRANT AND HAYES STREET DISCLOSES THAT PARKING CONDITIONS ON THIS STREET EACH SATURDAY ARE ANYTHING'BUT DESIRABLE. IT SEEMS THAT THE WEST END AUCTION MART HOLDS AN AUCTION EACH SATURDAY, AND SINCE THE MART IS SITUATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE STREET IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BLOCK, THE STREET HAS PARKED CARS ON IT ON BOTH SIDES OF THE STREET., THE NORTH SIDE OF THE STREET IN THE EASTERLY HALF OF THE BLOCK IS GRANT PARK, THE WESTERN HALF IS A VACANT LOT. THE STREET ITSELF IS'OF PENETRATION MACADAM, 16 FEET IN WIDTH, WITH TWO FOOT SHOULDERS AND NO CURBS. A 2-1/2 FOOT DITCH RUNS ALONG JHE NORTH SIDE. WITH CARS'PARKED ON BOTH SIDES, TRAVEL ON THE STREET,IS RESTRICTED TO ONE DIRECTION. THE POLICE DEPARTMENT IS CALLED UPON EACH SATURDAY TO UNTANGLE THE SITUATION. IT IS THE RECOMMENDAT10N OF THE CITY MANAGER THAT PARKING BE PROHIBITED ALONG THE NORTH SIDE OF THE STREET FOR THE BLOCK BETWEE~ GRANT AND HAYES STREETS. 'THIS WILL ENABLE THE CITY TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF LAW WHICH ARE THAT. 16 FEET OF UNOBSTRUCTED PAVEMENT BE LEFT OPPOSITE PARKED VEHICLES. AT ,THE SAME TIME, IT ELIMINATES THE POSSIBILITY OF CHILDREN COMING OUT OF THE PARK AND RUNNING BETWEEN THE PARKED CARS. IT lS THE RECOMMENDATION.OF THE COMMITTEE THAT THIS RESTRICTION BE APPROVED. D. PARKING ON 4TH AVENUE WEST - IT WAS EXPLAINED BY THE CITY MANAGER THAT 4TH AVENUE WEST BETWEEN WASHINGTON AND LINCOLN STREETS SERVES NUMEROUS WAREHOUSES AND TRUCK TERMINALS, THE MAJORITY OF WHICH ARE NORTH Of 4TH AVENUE. THE PROBLEM HERE IS THAT If ANY TRUCKS ARE PARKED ON ONE SIDE OF THE STREET ON 4TH, AND ANOTHER VEHICLE IS PARKED ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET,.THEN MOVING TRAFFIC IS RESTRICTED TO ONE DIRECTION. IT WAS EXPLAINED FURTHER THAT SEVERAL COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED IN THE PAST MONTHS IN REGARD TO THIS CONDITION. FOURTH AVENUE IS 30 FEET WIDE AND RESIDENCES PREDOMINATE ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE STREET. IT WAS SUGGESTED BY THE CITY MANAGER THAT PARKING BE PROHIBITED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF 4TH AVENUE fROM A POINT 60 FEET WEST OF ITS INTERSECTION WITH THE WEST LINE ~or LINCOLN STREET WEST TO ITS INTERSECTION WITH THE EAST LINE OF WASHINGTON STREET. THIS WOULD LEAVE 35 FEET IN FRONT Of THE OREGON SUPPLY COMPANY WHIC~ HAS NO OTHER AREA WHERE. CUSTOMERS CAN PARK. BY KEEPING THE PARKING OFF THE NORTH SIDE TRUCKS WILL HAVE A 'BETTER AND SAFER MOVEMENT IN AND OUT OF DRIVEWAYS TO THE TERMINALS. IT IS THE.RECOMMENDATION OF THE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE THAT THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE CONTACT THE TRUCKING CONCERNS AND REQUEST THAT THEY REFRAIN FROM PARKING TRUCKS ON 4TH AVENUE BETWEEN THESE STREETS.
