diTY OF SAN SERNARDINO - REQuesT FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
A letter was received from Joanne Aguilar, Palm Avenue
parent, relative to several safety concerns in the vicinity of
Palm Avenue Elementary School. One concern was over parents
stopping on the south side of Belmont Avenue to load and unload
their children.
In response to this letter, our Traffic Engineering
personnel conducted an investigation into the situation on
Belmont Avenue. This investigation revealed that there is a
pedestrian gate (for access to the school) , located about 400
feet east of Palm Avenue. Also, there is considerable traffic on
Belmont Avenue during the tides that children are arriving and
leaving school.
After reviewing the information collected in the course
of the investigation, we concluded that parking should be pro-
hibited on the south side of Belmont Avenue, within 200 feet of
each side of the pedestrian gate. It is felt that prohibiting
parking for this 400 feet would encourage parents to stop near
Palm Avenue, where there is a 4-way stop and school crosswalk, or
near Churchill Street, where there is a school crosswalk.
At their meeting of 4-10-96 , the Traffic Safety Committee
concurred with the recommendation to prohibit parking.
No adverse impact is expected to be created by this
parking prohibition, since there are no residences fronting on
this section of Belmont Avenue.
We recommend that the parking prohibition be approved.
