TransportationCommission | 2007-09-26 | 6 | Commissioner McFarland inquired whether 8-2.5, which discussed traffic marking, signage and striping, also addressed the visibility of traffic signs and keeping them clear of obstruction by vegetation. Staff Khan confirmed that was correct. Commissioner McFarland noted that has become a problem in some areas. Commissioner McFarland noted that 8-7.1 addressed prohibited parking at red curbs, and inquired about instances where someone has painted the curb red by their property. Staff Khan noted that is dealt with through the Police Department, who enforces the red curbs. If a property owner paints the curb in front of their home, the City maintenance staff would be able to tell the difference because the City uses a specific color for curb painting. In those instances, the City would contact the property owner to have them remove it; otherwise, the City would remove the paint and charge the owner. Commissioner McFarland inquired what part of the Municipal Code addressed the maximum length of time for on-street vehicle parking in an otherwise legal parking spot. Staff Khan replied that the maximum length of time was 72 hours, as described in the Vehicle Code; another section of the Municipal Code referred to the Vehicle Code. Commissioner McFarland noted that 8-8.1 addressed angled parking, and inquired whether the Transportation Commission had responsibility for the removal of angled parking. He noted that he was referred to the angled parking on Central. Staff Khan understood that the responsibility was currently with City Council, but would be assigned to the Transportation Commission. He noted that while the responsibility for the removal may not be clearly stated, he understood that it would be brought back to the Transportation Commission. He would be open to any recommendations to enhance the language. Commissioner McFarland expressed concern about safety for cyclists. Staff Khan noted that was a good point, and suggested enhancing the language to cover the removal of angled parking. Chair Knox White did not believe that angled parking was not appropriate everywhere, but that parallel parking was generally considered appropriate. Commissioner McFarland inquired whether 8-11 (Loading Zones) addressed the hours that a loading zone was in effect. Staff Khan replied that loading zone time restrictions were established by the Public Works Director. Commissioner McFarland inquired whether only commercial vehicles were allowed to use loading zones. Staff Khan replied that it would be any vehicle if they were in the process of loading or unloading passenger or commercial goods. Commissioner Krueger inquired about 8-11.1(b)(2), addressing bus stops without a red curb. Staff Khan confirmed that it addressed bus stops without a red curb, but with a time limitation. Commissioner Krueger inquired whether a school bus stop was considered to Transportation Commission Page 6 of 9 September 26, 2007 | TransportationCommission/2007-09-26.pdf |
