RE:
Items Defeated by the Traffic Review Board at their April 12, 2005 Meeting
A POLICE DEPARTMENT REQUEST FOR NO PARKING ON THE WEST SIDE OF DIVISION STREET
FROM 20 FEET SOUTH OF IDA AVENUE TO 35 FEET NORTH OF IDA AVENUE. [CURRENT
CONDITION: NO RESTRICTIONS].
This is a request from the Police Department.
A new business has located on the east side of Division Street and employees have started to
park on the west side of Division Street near Ida Avenue. The vehicles are parking very close to
the intersection and have ,created a sight distance problem for eastbound traffic on Ida Avenue.
The most common cause of accidents at this type of intersection is restricted sight distance. The
Board has been very successful in reducing accidents at stop sign controlled intersections by
removing parking. This is a low volume intersection, so the parking removals can be minimal.
There have not been any accidents at this intersection in the last year. However, I still believe that
parking should be removed to the north and south of Ida Avenue. I have recommended limited
parking restrictions, but if accidents should become an issue further parking could be removed.
