(District I)

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

An officer of Davis Chapel contacted Public Works stating difficulty entering safely onto Chesley Avenue from Truman Street, due to parked cars limiting visibility. Traffic Engineering staff responded by researching collision history and conducting a site visit soon after. Collision history revealed that on occasion, obstructions in the form of parked cars limited visibility, according to reports. This, along with field observations and measurement of sight lines, leads staff to recommend limited restriction of parking. Therefore, parking should be prohibited on the north side of Chesley Avenue for the first 35 feet, east of the eastern curb line of Truman Street. If adopted and implemented, this action should improve sight lines for all road users at the intersection of Chesley Avenue and Truman Street.
