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.
