interchangeably. South driveway site distance is limited for exiting due to parked
vehicles on the south side; however, the north driveway's site distance is not limited.
Therefore, Mr. Ho does not recommend removing parking spaces or limiting vehicle
height since the north driveway has good site distance for exiting vehicles. It was

immediately . It was then moved and seconded (Comms . Evansi Simonetti) to deny this
request. Unanimously approved by the Commission.

curb and extending existing red zone three feet. It was moved and seconded (Comms.

6.4 Request for Traffic and Parking Control at ll51 Vancouver Avenue @oosevelt
School)
Per Mr. Ho, this request was prompted by a recent accident when a student was hit
by a car in front of the school due to a double-parked car blocking the moving car's
site. In the last 5 years for the three nearest intersections, Easton, Broadway and
Carmelita at Vancouver, there have been only one accident each at Easton, at
Carmelita, and two at Broadway. Mr. Ho recommends the following requested
improvements: @ school crossing signs, @ speed limit signs, @ at Broadway/
Vancouver "Slow School Crossing" painted in yellow on pavement with advance
"School" signs, and @ extend existing white zone to provide a solid 67 foot long zone.
From the floor, Ms. Marquette advised that presently there are no school signs in the
immediate area and awareness is needed. The school just reopened two years ago. The
principal, Mr. Heron requested that typical school signage and markings be placed
since there are approximately 300 students who walk to school. Also requests Eastor/
Vancouver acquire pavement signage (@ above) since it had been painted before and
is now faded.
It was moved and seconded (Comms. Evans/Simonetti) to make this an Action Item
immediately. It was then moved and seconded (Comms. Mayer/Evans) to install Items
O through @ as recommended by staff, and at Eastor/Vancouver to add "Slow School
Crossing" painted in yellow on pavement with advance "School" signs. Unanimously
approved by the Commission. Mr. Ho advised that these improvements will be
installed before school reopens in September.
