Item No. 10
For meeting of 1-23-79
Supplemental Page 2
The installation of red curb on Fourth Avenue has improved the sight
distance for vehicles (including police emergency vehicles) approaching
on Davidson Street.
The prohibition of parking on the south side of E. Orange Avenue
between Loma and Larkhaven Avenues has minimized the problem of
pedestrians jaywalking across E. Orange Avenue to the recreational
facilities on the north side of the street from vehicles stopping
or parking on the south side of the street.
The removal of parking on "L" Street near First and Second Avenues
was necessary to provide left turn lanes on this arterial street
(in conjunction with traffic signal installation). The left turn
lanes and elimination of parking have reduced the number of accidents
occurring at these intersections by 60 percent. ( last yr. to this year
The installation of red curb on Casselman Street near Broadway has
facilitated vehicle movement on the substandard street (30 ft. curb
to curb) near the intersection.
All trial traffic regulations are functioning as intended and it is
recommended that they be made permanent.
