The item drew extended public comment. Local residents described recurring speeding, visibility issues on hills, many parked vehicles from nearby apartment complexes, and a history of petitions dating to 2015. One resident, speaking from memory of prior petitions, said he had submitted a petition with 62 signatures in 2015 opposing certain parking patterns. Residents recounted near-miss collisions, a recent dog strike incident, and daily congestion tied to freeway on-ramps.

Staff described existing roadway geometry: East Seventh Street and Robertson Avenue are two-lane roadways with parking on both sides; posted speeds were noted in staff materials (one segment listed as 30 mph). Staff observed sight-line obstructions created by parked vehicles and electrical poles and recommended two targeted red-curb extensions totaling 40 feet on the west side of Robertson Avenue and extending existing red-curb at the adjacent intersection.

Commissioners and residents discussed other mitigation options, including stop signs, crosswalks, speed humps, and traffic-calming measures used elsewhere in the city. Staff said some measures (such as speed humps and marked crosswalks) have criteria and constraints — for example, speed humps are not always permitted because of emergency access concerns — and that a traffic study would identify which measures are warranted.

The commission’s motion approved staff’s red-curb recommendations and added three directions for staff: (1) provide a follow-up traffic-study report on the area’s collision and speed history and recommended speed-mitigation measures; (2) coordinate a resident notification plan so neighbors know when City Council will consider the item and can comment if desired; and (3) consider and report on additional speed-control options if the study supports them. The motion was seconded and passed unanimously.

Staff said the recommendation will be forwarded to City Council, likely on the second meeting in September, and that council may adopt the item on consent or pull it for public comment.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","National City - Traffic Safety Committee","oneSentenceSummary","After extended public comment about crashes, speeding and parking pressure, the commission approved staff recommendations for additional red-curb no-parking zones on East Seventh Street and Robertson/Harbison Avenue and requested a traffic study and outreach to affected residents and neighboring jurisdictions.","taxTitle","National City, San Diego County, California","taxId",3877,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6588569,"Staff recommends 14 feet of red curb at Palm Avenue and East 11th to improve intersection visibility",145,1409000,1554000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5587783-db1e03c133844218c62f815adb3579cb&start=1409&end=1554","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5587783-db1e03c133844218c62f815adb3579cb/thumbnail_1409000.jpg","/articles/6588569/National-City/San-Diego-County/California/Staff-recommends-14-feet-of-red-curb-at-Palm-Avenue-and-East-11th-to-improve-intersection-visibility","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6588569-a38e0e5e0efb852a3bb9d2d09f1530c0/orig.mp4?Expires=1771147133&Signature=PthaJqrSYBGAO6nPvpI648FC6WK4dUwgnuPvQTphsO3BuBFNOfiEgxoU-CGZToBzPRK1BywtaK88V6xXWD5D0xb-7aUSbaujdpH86RuKkiIU5DgrZteEhVoMs07yVSM4ZCwTz1dABab6qiB-c~YgKa3v7IAqSzRhsT8FR-5VlHrwOUy8If79XNjE4rIMP50Zp0PjC~lwHcTBnPiYa1qCkvjVHf4rgP-nQfyIq2~ecrOqYuz4MfRlhA6tOMZD30co1RdhnYvRXFooYmXJmq0LkrqmvD-i-4kay2tj-npbq3bZTMFc-RYEMv83ZzSTd-YC8gGmRPT-oMrinUyfY8~y4w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City staff recommended the National City Traffic and Safety Commission install 14 feet of red-painted curb (no parking) at the northeast corner of Palm Avenue and East 11th Street to improve visibility for drivers making left turns from East 11th onto Palm Avenue.

Staff said site observations showed parking on both sides of Palm Avenue and East 11th Street and confirmed that parked vehicles at the southeast corner reduce sight lines for left-turning vehicles. Staff identified the recommended red curb as a short extension to preserve other curbside parking while clearing the sight triangle.

Commissioners and residents discussed the city’s broader daylighting program, which will paint multiple intersections red where the law has designated them for improved visibility. Staff said painting across the city is “in progress” but did not provide a firm timeline; staff also confirmed that parking in daylighted areas is already illegal even if curbs are not yet painted red.

The item proceeded as a staff recommendation for forwarding to City Council. If council approves the change, staff said they will install signage and paint the curb to formalize the no-parking zone.

The commission asked staff to coordinate with enforcement and public outreach so neighbors understand whether and when parking supply might change at nearby blocks.","Staff told the commission it observed parked vehicles limiting sight lines at Palm Avenue and East 11th Street and recommended installing 14 feet of red curb at the northeast corner to improve left-turn visibility; commissioners discussed the city's daylighting program and implementation timing.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6588575,"Commission approves request for disabled parking space at Rachel Avenue, forwards to council",645,701000,1346000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5587783-db1e03c133844218c62f815adb3579cb&start=701&end=1346","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5587783-db1e03c133844218c62f815adb3579cb/thumbnail_701000.jpg","/articles/6588575/National-City/San-Diego-County/California/Commission-approves-request-for-disabled-parking-space-at-Rachel-Avenue-forwards-to-council","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6588575-27427176c47f42ff6a679b7ba9abe9c1/orig.mp4?Expires=1771147133&Signature=htJHR~5HVW~12zQxCNSm49NEoGuGCQ5-GoP4Zu2c7ETZ5H3b6IOGVSBVpwOf5qU07qRfMbharfcfx4djOQm45KJKDRrejDoiXKgb9hhb55IJg2zfaZ566Pplg3sO1AZNG26z9htlNeKqD3l0x-unlnyoTnlVaOC7t88QzkxCc8yz1JTqwm2b1OP88WSwI0nxZSDapkSRBxVHT02iMfcpmVt4ZiEvpSIm64Q5fJt4XsQQWxtbNtLKC6XSg1tfXbpWYLktTDVNp~b4kwzqa8NEPv0cZeELpZaA1R57gu5TgQCutU9atHsj6sswsmOFjkl0z58hM72gQcB~x71QA8WPdA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The National City Traffic and Safety Commission unanimously approved forwarding a staff recommendation to the City Council to establish a disabled parking space near 405 Rachel Avenue.

Staff reviewed the request submitted on behalf of a resident (recorded in the file as Rachel Abedeman) and described the area as having limited on-site accessible parking and stairs between the street and the residence that make walking from curbside parking difficult. Staff evaluated the request under National City Municipal Code provisions for disabled parking (referenced in the meeting as chapter 11.32.225) and found the location eligible under the code’s criteria.

Commission discussion clarified that disabled parking spaces on the street are not assigned to a specific household; they are available to any vehicle displaying valid disabled plates or placard. A resident on the call asked for that clarification; staff repeated that curbside disabled spaces are legally available to any qualifying vehicle if the space is open.

A motion to approve the staff recommendation passed unanimously. The commission will forward the recommendation to the City Council, likely on the council’s subsequent consent calendar, and staff will notify the requestor of the council date.","The commission voted unanimously to forward a recommendation to establish a designated disabled parking space on Rachel Avenue to the City Council for final action.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6588579,"Commission backs two 15-minute parking spaces for daycare at 2110 Elles Avenue",394,190000,584000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5587783-db1e03c133844218c62f815adb3579cb&start=190&end=584","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5587783-db1e03c133844218c62f815adb3579cb/thumbnail_190000.jpg","/articles/6588579/National-City/San-Diego-County/California/Commission-backs-two-15-minute-parking-spaces-for-daycare-at-2110-Elles-Avenue","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6588579-77b4b6b47962dfad8fd9fc0d317e6d91/orig.mp4?Expires=1771147133&Signature=H5aDKPaXTZV6P1hmXLxvEUYFcnS8-ROh1ZqDxA97nVJymDF2Sh9TnfvMG-TSbsePRmZ~IeANTPgeSQED~XxhAdzE~ssZoheshbgDnDLcTKjITQ9Jrt0yAE1Kdz2CMndDZ1sgqG6CcoS-r2hfqJ5N1cL6b70MIlY45olS22zm7Euv1SNE918V82MZSpd5xUxP20~0eRHyFdDQaGU0M4-tcWqhHS1iScnciFOlB2ph3qnKw7E~Q30ZWA7On4jckm876RrsxXGLEES14e304WwVEEafiy2j~AQgqcQjmmRCU3TChYBaSINU3nxjS1CzuZjgSEdcAEjQmZy3QCRQnoeJyQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The National City Traffic and Safety Commission on a unanimous vote approved forwarding a staff recommendation to the City Council to install two parallel 15-minute parking spaces in front of My Signature Suite Family Daycare at 2110 Elles Avenue.

The recommendation, presented by staff, said the daycare — operated at this address for nine years — is regularly affected by overflow parking after a neighboring apartment complex reduced resident sticker parking. “We were flooded with a lot of vehicles,” Maria Miranda, owner of My Signature Suite Family Daycare, told the commission, saying parents sometimes double-park during morning drop-off and evening pick-up.

Staff reported a site visit that found most curbside parking near the business occupied during daytime hours and noted the daycare’s typical hours are 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday. Based on that review, staff recommended two 15-minute parallel parking spaces to improve turnover during peak drop-off and pick-up periods.

Maria Miranda asked about the cost associated with the parking change; staff confirmed there is a fee (discussed during the meeting as $800) but did not clarify on the record whether that fee is one-time or recurring. The commission did not add a condition on the fee; it voted to forward the item to the City Council, where it will appear on the consent calendar for final action.

According to the commission, City Council typically adopts Traffic and Safety Commission recommendations on the consent calendar with only occasional items pulled for public comment or discussion.

If the council pulls the item from consent, residents will have an opportunity to speak at that meeting. The commission advised the applicant she will be notified of the council date and can attend.","The National City Traffic and Safety Commission voted to forward a staff recommendation to add two 15-minute parallel parking spaces in front of My Signature Suite Family Daycare at 2110 Elles Avenue to the City Council consent calendar.","actionData","errors"]
