Poindexter Avenue; 2) Adoption of Resolution No.
Rescinding Resolution No. 91 -784 and Establishing Revised
Parking Restrictions on First Street and Poindexter
Avenue; and, 3) Discussion of PERMIT ONLY Parking for
McFadden Avenue and Cornett Avenue
OVERVIEW
This requests 1) authorization to proceed with the restriping of
Poindexter Avenue to improve the vehicular movement through the
intersection of Poindexter Avenue and Moorpark Avenue, 2) adoption
of a resolution revising parking restrictions on said street to
facilitate said restriping plan, and 3) consideration of the
possible implementation of PERMIT ONLY Parking on all or a portion
of McFadden Avenue and Cornett Avenue.
1. The City is in receipt of a petition (Exhibit 1) signed by
residents on McFadden Avenue and Cornett Avenue raising concerns
regarding parking problems in their neighborhood. Residents in
the areas have also expressed concerns regarding traffic
congestion on Poindexter Avenue.
2. On October 4, 1993, the Transportation and Streets Committee
discussed these concerns, as well as a number of possible
solutions. The Committee concurred with the intent of staff to
seek input from area residents regarding the alternative
solutions being considered.
3. On October 8, 1993, a letter (Exhibit 2) was sent to all of the
residents on McFadden Avenue and Cornett Avenue advising them
that at their meeting of November 3, 1993, the City Council
would be considering a number of possible actions to address
their concerns.

4. Subsequently, the Transportation and Streets Committee suggested
that they have a Saturday morning meeting with these residents
to allow for a more detailed discussion of these matters. On
October 18, 1993, a notice (Exhibit 3) was sent to all of the
residents in the area, as well as the owners of the businesses
on the north side of Poindexter Avenue, advising them of such a
meeting scheduled for Saturday morning, October 30, 1993.
5. In that this report was prepared and
field meeting, input received at that
under separate cover and /or orally
Council meeting.
DISCUSSION
A. Striping
distributed prior to that
meeting will be provided
at the November 3rd City
In order to alleviate traffic congestion posed by eastbound
traffic at the intersection of Poindexter and Moorpark Avenue,
it is recommended that the striping on Poindexter Avenue be
revised as shown on Exhibit 4. This change will increase the
storage of eastbound vehicles and improve the movement of
traffic through this intersection. The City Traffic Engineer
has reviewed and approved this plan.
B. Revised Parking Restrictions
In 1991, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 91 -784 which
established NO PARKING restrictions on First Street and
Poindexter Avenue to facilitate the traffic staging and movement
at the new traffic signal installed at the intersection of these
streets with Moorpark Avenue. In order to implement the above
described restriping plan, it will be necessary to revise those
parking restrictions as follows:
1. The NO PARKING restriction on the south side of Poindexter
Avenue between Moorpark Avenue and McFadden Avenue should be
changed to NO STOPPING ANYTIME.
2. In order to increase the staging area for eastbound vehicles
during peak traffic hours, the NO STOPPING restriction on the
south side of Poindexter Avenue should be extended westerly
from McFadden Avenue to Chaparral School.

3. In order to minimize inconvenience to adjacent residential
properties, the NO STOPPING restriction between McFadden
Avenue and a point just east of Chaparral School could be
limited to the hours of 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through
Friday.
4. In order to assure adequate visibility from the residential
driveway on the south side of Poindexter Avenue just west of
Cornett Avenue, the area between said driveway and the
easterly property line of the School, should be posted NO
STOPPING ANYTIME.
5. In order to improve traffic safety at this intersection, the
NO PARKING zone on the north side of Poindexter Avenue should
be changed to a NO STOPPING ANYTIME zone and extended
westerly from where it now terminates (approximately one
hundred feet [1001] west of Moorpark Avenue) to McFadden
Avenue.
6. The NO PARKING zone on the north side of First Street should
be changed to a NO STOPPING ANYTIME zone.
It is recommended that a Resolution (Exhibit 5) be adopted
rescinding Resolution No. 91 -784 and adopting the above
described revised parking restrictions.
C. Permit Only Parking
The petition (Exhibit 1) submitted by area residents cites
concerns regarding the parking of vehicles on McFadden Avenue
and Cornett Avenue which are not owned by local residents. The
letter sent to area residents (Exhibit 2) which described the
solutions being considered, mentioned the possibility of
establishing Permit Only Parking on all or a portion of these
residential streets. This approach will be discussed with area
residents at the Committee's field meeting on Saturday morning,
October 30th. Should the City Council decide that a PERMIT ONLY
parking program should be implemented in this area, staff will
prepare the necessary Resolution and bring it back to the City
Council at the next meeting.

1) Approve of the restriping of Poindexter Avenue as generally
described in Exhibit 4.
2) Adopt the attached Resolution (Exhibit 5) rescinding Resolution
No. 91 -784 and establishing revised parking restrictions on

Re: Proposed Revisions to Street Striping and Parking
Restrictions on Poindexter Avenue
Dear Resident,
As you may be aware, questions have been raised regarding
certain traffic and parking problems in your neighborhood.
In response to those concerns, the City is developing plans
for certain revisions to the street striping and parking
restrictions in this area. The purpose of this letter is to
briefly describe those plans, allow you the opportunity to
provide input to City staff in the development of those plans
and to invite those interested to speak directly to the City
Council on the matter.
City Council Meeting
The subject traffic and parking revisions will be considered
by the City Council at the regularly scheduled meeting of
Wednesday, November 3, 1993, at 7:00 p.m., at 799 Moorpark
Avenue. Those interested in providing input at this meeting
may submit written comment or oral testimony.
Poindexter Striping
It is proposed that the striping for east bound traffic on
Poindexter Avenue be revised to provide longer left and right
turn lanes in order to allow more storage area for east bound
traffic.
Poindexter Parking
In order to implement these striping changes it will be
necessary to extend the parking restrictions on the south
side of the Poindexter Avenue from Moorpark Avenue westerly
to the easterly property line of Chaparral School. In
addition, the parking restrictions on the north side of the
street will be extended westerly to McFadden Street. A
parking area will remain on the north side of Poindexter
Avenue west of McFadden to a point west of the "T"
intersection with Cornett.

For that area on the south side of Poindexter west of
McFadden, the City is considering the installation of "NO
STOPPING ANYTIME" signs. Another option being considered for
this area is the posting of signs reading "NO STOPPING,
MONDAY Thru FRIDAY, 6 a.m. to 6 p.m." This latter approach
will allow parking in this area by local residents during
non -peak traffic times.
Parking on Public Streets
Concern has been expressed by some regarding vehicles owned
by employees and /or customers of businesses on the north side
of Poindexter Avenue which are being parked on public street.
It is important to note that these streets are public streets
which must be made available for use by the general public.
While it is true that long term parking can be controlled by
posting time limits on parking ( i . e. One Hour Parking) , such
restrictions would apply to everyone, including local
residents, unless a preferred parking permit system is
implemented.
Preferred Parking Permits
The Vehicle Code does provide for the establishment of
parking restrictions with provisions exempting vehicles
displaying a permit. Under this program, Parking Permits are
issued to local residents exempting their vehicles from the
posted parking restriction. The City has used this mechanism
to control parking problems in other parts of the City. If
you feel that the parking problems on McFadden Avenue and /or
Cornett Avenue warrant this approach, please so state in any
comments you may wish to provide to the City.
To summarize, the City would like to take positive steps to
address the traffic and parking concerns which you or your
neighbors have brought to our attention. We invite your
comments and your participation in developing appropriate and
adequate solutions. Again, you may speak on this matter
before the City Council on November 3rd. However, if you
have any questions or comments on the solutions being
considered, please feel free to give me a call.
Sincerely,
Kenneth C. Gilbert

TO: All Residents
on McFadden Avenue
and Cornett Avenue
Subject: Notice of Meeting
Place: Corner of McFadden Avenue and Poindexter Avenue
Date: Saturday, October 30, 1993
Time: 9:00 A. M.
Host: City Council Transportation and Streets Committee
Topic: Discussion of Proposed Changes to Street Striping and
Parking Restrictions on Poindexter Avenue, McFadden
Avenue and Cornett Avenue
The City Council Transportation and Streets Committee
(Councilmembers Pat Hunter and John Wozniak) have scheduled a field
meeting at the time and place indicated above for the purpose of
discussing traffic and parking problems on Poindexter Avenue,
McFadden Avenue and Cornett Avenue. This is to invite you to that
field meeting and to request your input in the development of
viable solutions to those problems.
Reference is made to my letter to you of October 8., 1993, outlining
some of the solutions being considered. Of particular interest to
the City is your views regarding the establishment of Permit Only
Parking on Cornett Avenue and McFadden Avenue. Such a program
would prohibit all but local residents from parking on these
residential streets. It would, however, require local residents to
obtain a Parking Permit for vehicles to be parked on the street.
On behalf of the City Council Committee I again invite you to
participate in this fact finding effort. If you should have any
questions please feel free to call. See you at the meeting!

M E M O R A N D U M
TO: Transportation and Streets Committee
Councilman Wozniak
Councilman Hunter
FROM: Kenneth C. Gilbert, Director of Public Works
DATE: November 1, 1993
SUBJECT: Poindexter Parking
This is to summarize the points discussed at the Field Meeting held
with the residents on McFadden Avenue and Cornett Avenue, Saturday
morning, October 30, 1993. Attached is a revised Resolution
reflecting some of the points discussed. A y of this Memo has
been distributed to the entire City Crember and will be r red to
as supplementary information for Item No. 11F t be
considered by the City Council on 3d:
1. Parking Restriction: The Resolution to be considered by the
City Council on November 3rd recommends the following parking
restrictions on the south side of Poindexter Avenue:
• NO STOPPING ANYTIME from Moorpark Avenue to McFadden;
• NO STOPPING 6 am to 6 pm Mon thru Fri form McFadden to a
point just east of the School; and
• NO STOPPING ANYTIME at an area just east of the school.
Those present at the meeting requested that the NO STOPPING
ANYTIME restriction extend from Moorpark Avenue all the way to
Chaparral School. Attached is a revised Resolution reflecting
this change.
2. Re- Striping: The proposed plan to restripe Poindexter Avenue
to provide for two eastbound dedicated turn lanes (one for left
turners and one for right turners) was supported by the
residents. It was pointed out that although these lane
markings would only extend westerly to McFadden, the centerline
west of that point would be situated to allow additional
vehicle storage west of McFadden.
3. KEEP CLEAR: It was agreed to add a "KEEP CLEAN" marking at
McFadden for east bound traffic.
4. SCHOOL ZONE Signs: Staff will review the standards for the
placement of SCHOOL ZONE signs and make necessary adjustments
if and as required to provide for the maximum length of said
zone and optimal visibility of said signs.
5. Painted Red Curbs: The curbs at all fire hydrants will be
painted RED. RED curbs for NO STOPPING zones will be deferred
and considered later if the need arises.
Poindexter Traffic
November 1, 1993

6. Speed Limits: Subsequent to the implementation of the revised
parking restrictions and restriping, it is suggested that a new
Speed Survey be conducted on this street segment and the Speed
Limits be revised, if necessary, to reflect the recommendation
of that study.
7. Traffic Signal Timing: Staff will discuss with Caltrans the
operation and timing of the traffic signal at
Poindexter /First /Moorpark Avenue to improve effectiveness and
reduce waiting times on Poindexter Avenue.
8. Traffic Signal Modification (Arrows): Staff will also discuss
with Caltrans the feasibility of adding right -turn arrows to
operate in concert with opposing left -turn arrows.
9. Truck Route Enforcement: Staff will review with the Police
Department the present level of enforcement of Truck Route
restrictions on Poindexter Avenue and, if necessary, request
increased patrol.
10. Truck Use of Commercial Property: Staff will also discuss with
the Police Department the turning movements and traffic
patterns of trucks when using the commercial property at the
southwest corner of Poindexter and Moorpark to turn around.
11. School Bus Traffic: Staff will discuss with the School
District the possibility of routing School Bus traffic leaving
Chaparral School to the west in order to reduce traffic
congestion at this problem intersection.
12. PERMIT ONLY Parking: It was the general view of those present
that PERMIT ONLY parking on McFadden and Cornett should not be
enacted at this time. Other efforts, including discussions
with the commercial property owner and business owners, will be
pursued in the short term. If the parking problem on these
streets persists after sixty (60) days, the question of PERMIT
ONLY parking will be reconsidered.
13. Limited Parking Hours: Another option discussed was the
establishment of a two or four hour parking limitation on these
residential streets. This would only address the practice of
employees parking all day. Again this and other approaches
will be revisited if the problems persist.
