The resident at 6311 Highland Avenue, Elizabeth Underwood, requested that a disabled parking space be establish in front of her residence. In response, Traffic Engineering staff initiated an investigation which included an on-site visit. It was determined that the resident possesses a valid disabled parking placard due to her limited mobility. Although a viable driveway was observed at her residence, due to its pitch, the resident indicated that it would be easier for her to get in and out of her car if it were parked on the street. 6311 Highland Avenue is on the east side of a short block between Plymouth Avenue and Taft Avenue. The only other residence that could be affected by establishment of a disabled parking space is the residence at 6276 Taft Avenue, which is the location of a private daycare for small children. Parents sometimes park on Highland Avenue to drop off or pick up their children. The resident of 6276 Taft Avenue was contacted, and concurred with the request for disabled parking. It was determined by Public Works staff that establishment of a disabled parking space would have minimal impact on residential parking overall.  
  
  

No disabled parking space will be established and parking will remain available to the general public without restriction at this location.
