McKin1ey Schoo1 Traffic Comnittee's proposal toMake Paloma and Fairfield One-Way Streets -Review of Improvements Already Installed. Staff reported to the Commission that CltyCounciL at their meetlng of July L6, 199O hadconcurred with the recommendations made bystaff and the Traffic, Safety & parking Commls-sion to not change paloma and Fairfleld to one-way streets. General consensus was to a11owtime to see if the other measures that Councilagreed to and which have since been installed,would alleviate the problem. further studies have recently been conducted bystaff of the situatlon along paloma Avenue andFairfield Road. parents are using a1I of thewhite zone and also the yellow zone to avoiddouble parking along paloma Avenue. The whitezone is sti11 not tong enough to accommodateall the parent parking, especially duringinclement weather. Earlier this year McKinley SchooL made assuran-ces that they were considering off-streetparkJ.ng for the teachers and employees; thishas not been accomplished and still remalns asthe single most cause of double parking byparents on Paloma Avenue. Converting Paloma Avenue and FaLrfield to one-way streets will not relieve the school timecongestion problem for the school and is not inthe best interest or benefit to the residentsin the neighborhood. As recommended previouslyby staff and the Commission, the best solutionis on-site school parking for employees andteachers and extension of the white zonenorthwards of the north gate. This wouldresolve the double parking problem on paloma Avenue and negate the need for further con-sideration of the one-$ray streets proposal forPaloma and Fairfield - Staff went on to discuss a second and thirdalternative whi-ch involved the white zone.Staff considers the previous traffic measurespassed by Council (Stop signs; yellow cross-ings, etc. ) are effective. If the problem ofdouble parking continues, it can onty beresolved by adopting one of the three alterna-tives reported by staff to the Commission andnot by converting paloma and Fairfield to one-way streets. 5 6 4.2.7 Contrd.
