TransportationCommission | 2008-06-25 | 7 | issuance of tickets. He added that the street sweeping schedule was sometimes confusing and difficult to remember. He would like the casual carpool pickup spot to be moved to the parking area near the theater. Staff Bergman noted that staff reviewed off-street parking along the block, and with the exception of six, at least one offstreet space is available. Staff Khan believed the street sweeping would improve the situation, because carpoolers would not be able to park on the street. Mr. Rabin, appellant, noted that the residents did not mind street sweeping, but did mind having the carpoolers parking in the area. He would like to see a parking sticker system explored and instituted. Staff Khan noted that staff was looking into that possibility very seriously. Close public comment. Commissioner Krueger stated that he heard that there is hand-sweeping on Gibbons. Staff Khan noted that he was not aware of it, and that it was not sanctioned by the City. Commissioner Ratto noted that because of the massive trees on Gibbons, the residents bring in a vacuum truck to remove the leaves. He had never seen any hand-sweeping on that street in 10 years. Commissioner Krueger noted that he lived at 1204 Regent Street, which had street sweeping, and inquired whether anyone had any objection to his participation in this issue. He added that he had an off-street parking space. Commissioner Ratto noted that he had participated in Park Street issues for six years, and did not object to Commissioner Krueger participating in this issue. Chair Knox White noted that conflict of interest was financial. Commissioner Krueger noted that he had no financial interest in this issue, and that he agreed that parking on Regent Street was very difficult. Commissioner Schatmeier noted that the issue of the street being used as a park-and-ride lot was critical, and believed that there may not be a problem otherwise. He believed the restriction would take care of most workdays, and did not believe that decisions based on a guess should be made. Staff Khan agreed that a park-and-ride lot would be beneficial near the Park Street district, but that a location was difficult to find. He invited suggestions for potential locations. He noted that the City of Davis offers a permit was possible for transit users; staff was looking into that possibility very seriously. Page 7 of 11 | TransportationCommission/2008-06-25.pdf |
