18. TRAFFIC COMMITTEE REPORT
60 -6 -1C "The Traffic Committee.has studied the request of the Don Motel
for installation of a pipe - mounted sign reading' "hotel loading zone" in
the white zone which exists in front of the motel. 1
This particular parking space has been a continual problem since its
original installation several years ago. It was first designated as
a green 10- minute parking space, and we had countless complaints from the
management on the lack of enforcement. The committee then recommended a
white passenger loading zone, and we have also had many complaints on the
ineffectiveness of this zone, particularly at night time when it is difficult
to distinguist it from plain - marked curbing. It should be noted that
except for one or two isolated cases, motels have not been provided with
passenger loading zones because they have their own off - street parking and
hotel loading zones are really intended for a different purpose -- to keep
the area in-front of the hotel clear in case of fire and a large number
of people emerging from one exit, plus of course, the fact that hotels
ordinarily do not have off-:street parking nearby. It is the recommendation
of the Traffic Committee that the present white loading zone in front of
the Don Motel be eliminated and the curb returned to its original unmarked
state."
The above report, 60 -6 -1C, was held over by request.
60 -6 -2T "The Traffic Eommittee has studied the intersection of Santa Rosa
and Higuera with a•view to expediting traffic flows once•the new signals
are installed. It is our recommendation that red zones be installed back
to the first driveway on all corners except the northwest, which-is the
location of the continuous drive of the Will's Service Station, which
restricts parking anyway. The three red zones would result in the removal
of three metered spaces and two other curb parking stalls."
RESOLUTION NO. 680 (1960 Series), "A Resolution Establishing No Parking
Zones at the Interesection of Santa Rosa and Higuera Streets ", was passed
and adopted on the motion of Gerald W. Shipsey, seconded by Donald Q.
Miller, on the following roll call vote:
AYES: Kenneth W. Jones, Donald Q. Miller, Gerald W. Shipsey, Fred M.
Waters.
NOES: None
ABSENT: `J. Barry Smith
