RESOLUTION 140. 90-132
DEPARTMENT: Public Works 4iy4-\-
BACKGROUND
John E. Medina
Ms. Annette Gade, Community Library Manager, requested that the traffic
engineering staff evaluate the on -street parking conditions in front of the
Newhall Branch of the L.A. County Public Library at 22704 West 9th Street. An
analysis of the parking demand in the area indicates that the utilization of the
potential on -street parking facilities could be improved by restricting a
portion of the parking to a maximum time of two hours and by the replacement of
a short segment of red curb markings with white curb markings (passenger loading
zone). A copy of the engineer's report, including a diagram of the proposed
parking restrictions, is attached.
Adopt Resolution No. 90-132, authorizing the .installation of parking time
limited restrictions and of a passenger loading zone on the south side of 9th
Street westerly of Walnut Street. Direct staff to implement appropriate curb
markings and/or traffic signs to effect the parking regulations.

L.A. COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY
9TH STREET WEST OF WALNUT STREET
REQUEST
Ms. Annette Gade, Community Library Manager, requested the installation of a
two-hour parking zone in front of the Newhall branch of the L.A. County Public
Library at 22704 West 9th Street.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that a two-hour ,parking time limited zone and a passenger
loading zone be established on the south side of 9th Street west of Walnut
Street, in front of the library, as shown on the attached Figure 1.
CONDITIONS AND DISCUSSION
The Newhall branch of the Los Angeles County Public Library is located on the
south side of 9th Street abutting and west of Walnut Street (see Figure 1).
There is approximately 55 feet of red curb marking in front of the library,
and within this red zone there is a "drop -box" for the return of borrowed
books.
Observations have disclosed that motorists will, on occasion, illegally stop
within the red zone to deposit books in the "drop -box." Removal of . the red
curb markings and installation of white curb markings adjacent to the
"drop -box" would result in legalizing the current activity at this location.
The installation of the requested two-hour parking time limited zone would
establish a location, in the proximity of the library, whereby on -street
parking turnover would be encouraged.
Installation of the recommended zones should improve the utilization of the
potential on -street parking facilities.
There appears to be on -street and off-street parking facilities: in the
immediate vicinity sufficient to accommodate any vehicles displaced by the
installation of the proposed parking regulations.
