SPECIAL STUDY SESSION
11-1,7-9 3
I am unable to attend the SPECIAL STUDY SESSION regarding thePolicy on Rollins Road/Adrian Road on Wed, 11-17-93. I would liketo share ny views with you,'
I support the idea for a rrvision safety zonerr on theleft si.de of the driveways. This woul"d al1ow drivers attenptingto enter traffic a better vi.ew.
I do not agree that a red zone shoul-d be painted onthe right side of the driveway. Once the driver enters thetraffic lanes to their left, aided by the "safety vision zonetr,they now have an unobstructed view of any traffic approaching
from the right and are lawfulLy in a position to either completethe turn or yield to that traffic.
Al-L along Ro11i.ns Road there are nunerous smalL red
zones in the niddle of many blocks that are adjacent to vater
main shut offs in the street. Is it necessary to retain these? I
can only assume the red zones !/ere painted so that the city crews
would have access to the valve j.n case of emergency. Has this
ever happened? I don/t knor"r of any incident $/here it was. Theseare not enforced as i-t could only be done by an officer walking
along the sidewalk as you can not see them from the street, Ibelieve that if these were elj,ninated, nany more parking spaces
woul-d be gai-ned .
As discussed previously, any addition of parkingrestrictions will reguire extra enforcement. this vil-I not becomea major problero, we will find a way to deal with j.t on a
random basis.
SUBJECT:
I hope these fe!, opinions are of help to you. I will be at theregualar nonthly meeting tomorrow night and can explain furtherif need be.
