Resident Appeal of Public Works Staff's Decision to Not Install the No Parking Street Sweeping Signs on the 2600 Block of La Jolla Drive Staff Ta gave an overview of the item. Commissioner Schatmeier clarified with staff that their recommendation was to not recommend the signs. Staff Ta replied staff is recommending the signs not be installed. Commissioner Schatmeier asked if the installation of the signs have any influence on the number of times the streets are swept. Staff Ta explained that the residential streets have a set schedule and they are swept on a weekly basis. Commissioner Schatmeier asked if the signs are not installed, then occasionally cars will be in the way. Staff Ta replied yes. Commissioner Vargas said he spoke with a City sergeant about the fact that his street was swept across the street where there are signs and later into the day they swept the other side without signs. He then asked about the safety implications if the signs are not added. Staff Ta replied he is not aware of any safety impacts with the signs being present or not.

Ann Leonardo, resident of La Jolla Drive, created the petition because the street cleaner comes up Broadway, enters into the La Jolla and attempts to get into the cul-de-sac, which is 125 feet long, and cannot because of the parked cars.

When she decided to execute the petition, she attempted to notify her neighbors by knocking on their doors. She felt the street around the cul-de-sac is used as a kind of catch all for parking. Robert Erdmann, resident of La Jolla Drive, reviewed the staff report, public comments and appeal.
