Dear City of Orange Traffic Commission,
We kindly request that you incorporate the city side of Renee Street into the recently approved 4.6 measure which seeks to add permit parking on both sides of Avenida Palmar. It is understood that if this request is approved, the county side of Renee Street will remain permit-free.
The reason for the request is, as many of our neighbors have previously expressed, rooted in the excessive, unreasonable and altogether hazardous traffic overflow our neighborhood is experiencing from foreign vehicles, in addition to mounting safety concerns. Specifically, key factors include, but are not limited to:
• Since Renee Street is something of a cul-de-sac, it ostensibly encourages outsiders to.. • Treat the street as a personal auto-body shop, with daily evidence of individuals working on their vehicles, leaving everything from trash to oil stains, in addition to creating traffic hazards • The individuals who have essentially taken over Renee Street use SIIS E. Avenida Palmar's front yard as their loitering grounds; a hang-out spot which involves alcohol consumption and littering • Repeated overnight parking violations in the red curb, fire lanes • The residence at 349 N. Renee is essentially landlocked and located a long travel distance from the Renee Street entrance. In the event of an emergency, the excessive traffic and violations of fire lanes could lead to an otherwise preventable disaster
• 349 N. Renee maintains a commercial license as a wedding venue - the unsavory activity listed herein is an eyesore and deterrent to potential customers contributing to loss of business • Most of the vehicles parked on Renee Street are work trucks which carry valuable work tools/supplies. As a result, would-be thieves have been recorded periodically scouting vehicles on Renee Street and it is only a matter of time before they target the surrounding neighborhood as well • Neither residence listed herein has sufficient guest parking since it is being claimed by outsider vehicles
For these reasons and the many others relayed during the most recent, April 09, 2025, Traffic Commission meeting, we ask that you kindly add Renee Street to the recently approved 4.6 measure.
Sincerely,
72e
