A. Issue
On-street parking impacts travel and access along Gridley Avenue, particularly during school hours
B. Background/Options
There are no signed parking restrictions on the north side of Gridley Avenue between Glenview Avenue and Robertson Street except for a segment from 179 feet west of Glenview Avenue to 248 feet west of Glenview Avenue where parking is prohibited at any time. On the south side of Gridley Avenue, parking is currently prohibited for more than 2 hours on weekdays between 9 am and 4 pm except for a segment from 161 feet west of Glenview Avenue to 249 feet west of Glenview Avenue where parking is prohibited at any time.
Gridley Avenue measures 24 feet wide curb-to-curb. When vehicles are parked on both sides of the street, the street is effectively narrowed to an 8-foot wide travel lane for two-way traffic.
A 90-day parking trial prohibited parking at any time on the south side of Gridley Avenue from Glenview Avenue to 62 feet west thereof and prohibited parking on school days from 7:30-9 am and 2-4:30 pm on the north side of Gridley Avenue from Glenview Avenue to 92 feet west thereof and from 380 feet west of Glenview Avenue to 400 feet west of Glenview Avenue.
Staff recommends permanently prohibiting parking at any time on the south side of Gridley Avenue from Glenview Avenue to 62 feet west thereof and permanently prohibiting parking on school days from 7:30-9 am and 2-4:30 pm on the north side of Gridley Avenue from Glenview Avenue to 92 feet west thereof and from 380 feet west of Glenview Avenue to 400 feet west of Glenview Avenue.
