| 1 | F.2 | | Business Item | SUBJECT: CONTINUED REQUEST #24-30 Requesting Bollards To Be Installed To Restrict Access To The Dead-End Road Of Nottingham Avenue.
REPORT IN BRIEF
Citizen and community states that this neighborhood is filled with constant occurrences of illegal and dangerous activities, specifically taking place in the dead-end road of Nottingham Avenue. This poses a significant safety hazard for citizens in the area. Citizen adds that these dangerous activities also include an accumulation of debris that requires city cleanup resources. The addition of bollards that restrict access to the dead-end road can support a safer environment for community members, while also reducing the opportunity for illegal activities to take place in this area. | | |

| 1 | F.3 | | Business Item | SUBJECT: CONTINUED REQUEST #24-31 Requesting Enhanced Traffic Control Evaluations At The Intersections Of MLK Jr Way And West 27th Street, West 23rd Street And I Street, And West 23rd And H Street.
REPORT IN BRIEF
Citizen states that there is a lack of signage at the corners of these 3 intersections which can be confusing to drivers on who has the right of way. Martin Luther King Jr Way and West 27th Street is a cause for concern with the lack of signage due to this being a high vehicle traffic area with an elementary school a block away. Citizen adds that West 23rd Street and I Street, and West 23rd Street and H Street have no signage at either corner to yield or stop. An addition of proper signage would enforce safety measures for residents and school children in the community. | | |

| 1 | F.4 | | Business Item | SUBJECT: CONTINUED REQUEST #24-32 Requesting Proper Signage/Markings Of Public Or Private Parking And Parking/Code Enforcement To The Parking Spaces Along W Main Street Next To The Tioga Sequoia Brewery.
REPORT IN BRIEF
Citizen states that the public parking spaces along W Main Street next to the Tioga Sequoia Brewery are consistently reserved for food trucks by the Tioga Sequoia Brewery without proper permits. The employees of the brewery place noncompliant traffic devices into the public parking spaces to reserve a space for food trucks, even when food trucks are not present or will not be providing services that day. This takes away parking for residents who already have a hard time finding a safe place to leave their vehicle and allows employees of the brewery to benefit by taking these spots when available instead. Citizen states employees will also illegally double park to save the spaces, place these traffic devices around community members cars who park there, and food trucks block the crosswalk and road to wait for a space to be available.

REPORT IN BRIEF
Citizen states that the Mercy Medical Center owns the parking lot on the south end of Mercy Avenue between G Street and Sandpiper Avenue. Many patients, employees, students, and visitors use this parking lot, but there is no crosswalk in the area, which results in pedestrians crossing the street with no protected measures. Installing a crosswalk would increase safety for all pedestrians in the area. | | |

REPORT IN BRIEF
Citizen explains that there has been a surplus of speeding vehicles in the neighborhood after the grocery stores/new homes were added in the Yosemite Ave area. The installation of a four-way stop at the intersection of El Portal Dr and Parsons Ave could mitigate the speeding issue and support safety measures in the community. | | |

| 1 | F.8 | | Business Item | SUBJECT: REQUEST #24-38 Requesting The Installation Of Speed Bumps And A Temporary Speed Trailer On Northwood Drive.
REPORT IN BRIEF
Citizen explains many drivers use Northwood Drive as a throughway to avoid the traffic on Olive Ave and Bear Creek Dr. These vehicles travel at high speeds, causing safety hazards to residents of this area, many of whom include both children and elderly veterans who enjoy spending time outside frequently. The potential risk of an accident has led some fearful residents to discontinue the walks outdoors. The installation of speeds bumps could urge drivers to slow down and would allow for a safer environment for all residents and drivers in the area. A temporary speed radar would be beneficial until speeds bumps are installed. | | |

| 1 | F.10 | | Business Item | SUBJECT: REQUEST #24-40 Requesting Installation Of Signage With Reflectors To Alert Drivers Of The Bend In The Road At 199 E Santa Fe Avenue.
REPORT IN BRIEF
Citizen explains how many drivers traveling westbound may be distracted or simply cannot see the bend in the road which causes drivers to jump the curb and damage personal and city property. There have been two occurrences at this location within the past few years. The installation of reflective signage announcing the bend in the road can provide preventative/safety measures for drivers and citizens in the area. | | |
