Kenneth C. Gilbert, Director of Public Works
March 25, 1999 (Council Meeting 4- 21 -99)
Resolution No. 99- Establishing Certain Parking
Restrictions on Christian Barrett Drive at Trailcrest
Drive
A. Off -Site Parking at Peach Hill Elementary School
Christian Barrett Drive is used for parking by the faculty and
staff at Peach Hill Elementary School. It is also used for
parking, loading and unloading by the parents of students
attending that school.
B. Visibility for Trailcrest Traffic
In response to concerns raised by a local resident, staff
investigated the alleged problems caused by the above
mentioned parked cars. It was determined that the visibility
of northbound traffic at the intersection of Christian Barrett
Drive and Trailcrest Drive, is impaired by cars parked on the
south side of Christian Barrett Drive. This is of particular
concern due to the curve and hill to the east and the tendency
for drivers to exceed the speed limit on this collector
street. If adopted, the attached resolution would prohibit
parking on the south side of Christian Barrett Drive
immediately east and west of Trailcrest Drive.
C. Pedestrians
Residents in the area, as well as administrators at Peach Hill
Elementary School are also concerned about pedestrian traffic
crossing the street at the subject intersection. Interest was
expressed about the installation of STOP signs, painted
crosswalks, flashing warning signals or other traffic control
measures aimed at decreasing speed and /or protecting

pedestrians. Staff has informed those most interested that it
is unlikely that the subject intersection would meet warrants
for the installation of a three -way STOP at the subject
intersection. Information was also shared regarding the safety
problems associated with painted crosswalks. It is possible
that these concerns may be brought forward to the City more
formally in the form of a petition.
D. Summary
Regardless of the outcome of future discussions regarding added
measures (if any) to improve pedestrian safety, it is the view
of staff that the visibility problem described above should be
addressed. Adoption of the attached resolution will improve
visibility at this intersection.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends
establishing "No
Drive immediately
Prk CB Trailcrest
that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 99-
Stopping Anytime" zones on Christian Barrett
east and west of Trailcrest Drive.
