FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Parking will remain unrestricted.

BACKGROUND:

The Public Works Traffic Engineering Section received multiple safety complaints from Winterbrook Drive residents about limited sightlines for motorists entering Alves Lane from Winterbrook Drive. An investigation was conducted in November 2017. The investigation included measuring sightlines and a check of collision data. Sightlines were found to be limited, particularly due to the location of Winterbrook Drive on the inside curve of Alves Lane. This, along with data showing a higher than expected collision rate in the vicinity of the intersection resulted in a conclusion that prohibiting parking on the north and southeast corners of the intersection would improve sightlines and traffic safety.
