DATE: February 23, 1993,
SUBJECT: ESTABLISHMENT OF NO -STOPPING ZONE ON 16TH STREET AT
AVENIDA IGNACIO
DEPARTMENT: Community Development
BACKGROUND
At the request of a citizen, (Mr. Mike Bowers), Traffic Engineering staff conducted a sight -visibility
study at the Intersection of 16th Street and Avenida Ignacio.
16th Street is designated as a secondary highway with two through lanes In both directions.
Parking is permitted on both sides of this roadway, except near Orchard Village Road (see attached
Exhibit "A"). There is very little demand for parking In this area during weekdays. Parking demand
occurs mainly on weekends and is accommodated on both sides of 16th Street east of Avenida
Ignaslo. The proposed parking prohibition would not have a significant Impact on parking supply
In this area. The posted speed limit Is 40 miles per hour on this road.
Avenida Ignacio Is a residential collector street with one lane In each direction. Parking is
permitted on both sides of the street. The.prlma facie speed limit Is 25 miles per hour.
Based on the field measurements and sight -visibility evaluations, the intersection has limited sight
distance when on occasion vehicles park on 16th Street near the Intersection. In order to Improve
the sight visibility and preserve minimum sight distance at the intersection, parking restriction Is
recommended on both sides of 16th Street.
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. 93-16, restricting the stopping of vehicles on 16th Street as Indicated below
and direct staff to provide the necessary curb markings or signs to effect this resolution:
1. North side: from the beginning of curb return at 16th Street on northeast corner to
100 feet easterly (total of 100 feet).
2. South side: from the beginning of curb return at 16th Street on southwest corner to
180 feet westerly (total of 180 feet).
