ITEM EXPLANATION
(4/5TH'S VOTE REQUIRED YES- N0~)
The following trial traffic regulation has been in effect for eight
months:
Schedule III - Parking Prohibited at All Times on Certain Streets
Street Beginning At Ending At Side
Fourth Avenue Roosevelt Avenue "H" Street
Both
In order to provide a two way left turn lane on Fourth Avenue, parking
was eliminated and the street was restriped in May, 1977. Prior to
that time, there had been 5-7 accidents/year in this section of Fourth
Avenue. The majority of these accidents involved vehicles turning
into Bay General Hospital.
Since the installation of the two-way left turn lane, there has been
one reported accident (involving a drunk driver). The restriping has
also improved the traffic flow on Fourth Avenue north of "H" Street
by providing a storage area for turning vehicles.
This provision has reduced the number of accidents and improved traffic
flow on Fourth Avenue and should be made permanent.
