No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

The Principal of Riverview Middle School requested parking be prohibited for a segment of roadway on the west side of the school’s parking lot driveway on Pacifica Avenue to improve visibility for motorists exiting the parking lot driveway. Traffic Engineering staff responded by researching collision history and conducting a site visit soon afterwards. Although reported collisions did not present themselves recently, the exceptionally wide driveway and its skew to Pacifica Avenue presented some unique safety concerns. Therefore, prohibiting parking for a small segment of Pacifica Avenue adjacent to the driveway should improve sight lines and stopping distance for all road users at this location.
