RESTRICTIONS
John E. Medina
Hart High School has recently instituted changes in student pick-up/drop-off
procedures to improve traffic flow around the school. One change is the closure
of a circular driveway near 14th Street used by parents to pick up and drop off .
students. These activities must now be accomplished on Newhall Avenue in front
of the high school.
The curb in front of Hart High School is currently posted for no stopping
anytime. The school administration has requested that the parking restrictions
be changed to prohibit parking but allow student pick-up/drop-off activities.
The school has also requested some additional parking restrictions near their
faculty parking lot to facilitate the entry and exit of handicapped
transportation services.
An evaluation of traffic flow on Newhall Avenue showed that the requested
changes in parking restrictions would benefit traffic flow in the general area
of the school. Newhall Avenue is sufficiently wide adjacent to the school to
allow the pick-up/drop-off area, and the changes in parking restrictions will
not impact residential parking on the opposite side of Newhall Avenue. The
proposed restrictions are illustrated in Attachment 1.
It is recommended that City Council authorize changes in parking restrictions on
Newhall Avenue to facilitate student pick-up and drop-off at the curb on Newhall
Avenue. The following specific changes are recommended:
1. The existing R28 (No Stopping Anytime) signs on the west side of Newhall
Avenue between 60 feet south of 14th Street and 900 feet north of 14th
Street be changed to R30 (No Parking 7 a.m. - 5 p.m., school days only)
signs.
2. Parking be prohibited on the west side of Newhall Avenue between 60 feet
south of 14th Street and 160 feet south of 14th Street.
