SUBJECT: ESTABLISHMENT OF NO -STOPPING ZONE ON AVENUE STANFORD
AT HUNTINGTON LANE
RESOLUTION NO. 97-98
DEPARTMENT: Transportation and Engineering Services
At the request of a citizen, (Ms. Karen Calahan), Traffic Engineering staff conducted a sight -
visibility study at the intersection of Avenue Stanford and Huntington Lane.
Avenue Stanford is designated as a collector commercial street which is presently striped with
one through lane in each direction. Parking is permitted on both sides of this roadway and the
posted speed limit is 45 miles per hour.
Huntington Lane is a commercial street with one lane in each direction. Parking is permitted
on both sides of the street and the prima 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 Avenue Stanford immediately south of the
intersection. In order to improve the sight visibility and preserve minimum sight distance at
the intersection, parking restriction is recommended along the east side of Avenue Stanford
south of Huntington Lane.
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. 97-98, restricting the stopping of vehicles on Avenue Stanford as indicated
below and direct staff to provide the necessary curb markings or signs to effect this resolution:
Along the east side of Avenue Stanford from the beginning of the curb return with Huntington
Lane on the southeast corner to 154 feet southerly (total of 154 feet).
