order to improve sight distance for cars leaving their driveway.
Red curbing is requested on both sides of the driveway. Staff
concurs with this request for a sight distance problem on a
slight curve in the street. This parking restriction will
improve sight distance and facilitate right and left turns out of
the driveway.
In accordance with the City' s traffic ordinance, it is necessary
for the City to adopt an ordinance in order to establish no
parking in these areas . If the City Council adopts this
ordinance a total of two on street parking spaces would be
removed on Regional Street, one on either side of the driveway.

Dear Mr. Thompson
With the installation of a turn lane on Regional Street,
those vehicles parking along the curb on either side of
our driveway, create a dangerous situation for those leav-
ing our parking lot. These vehicles obstruct the view and
a driver must pull far out into the street before they can
clearly see if there is on-coming traffic.
Red curbing would eliminate this problem. We would be
willing to donate twelve parking spaces in our lot, during
the week, to replace those lost parking spaces.
Sincerely yours
WOOLWORTH GARDEN CENTER
