SUBJECT: Consideration and possible action to authorize the Director of Public Works, or designee, to install red curb parking restrictions at 9154 Flower Street (C.E.# 24-06).
DATE: April 8, 2024
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This action would approve and authorize the installation of red curb parking restrictions at 9154 Flower Street pursuant to Bellflower Municipal Code (“BMC”) Chapter 10.04.
RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL
1) Authorize the Director of Public Works, or designee, to install red curb parking restrictions at 9154 Flower Street; or
2) Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.
FISCAL IMPACT
The estimated cost to install the red curb parking restrictions is $200.00. Funds are budgeted in Account No. 010-43170-3100 (Street Maintenance Traffic Paint).
DISCUSSION
The City recently received a request to install red curb parking restrictions at the southwest corner of Flower St. and Virginia Avenue, specifically in front of 9154 Flower Street, to improve line of sight for vehicles turning left and right from Virginia Avenue onto Flower Street. The City Engineer reviewed the existing line-of-site parameters for drivers traveling northbound on Virginia Avenue making a left or right turn onto Flower Street. The City Engineer confirmed that existing on-street parking in front of 9154 Flower Street does impede the line-of-sight for these vehicles, particularly vehicles traveling eastbound on Flower Street. As a result of these findings, the City Engineer proposes the installation of thirty-five (35) feet of red curb in front of 9154 Flower Street.
The location of the proposed red curb parking restrictions is illustrated in the attached aerial photograph. If approved, the installation of the red curb at this location will result in the loss of one on-street parking space.
