Resident urges city to address parking, sight-line hazards near McGrath
Summary
At a February Brentwood Board of Aldermen meeting, a resident asked the city to revisit parking restrictions and safety near McGrath after parked cars obstruct sight lines at an alley, and an alderman said the committee would address the issue later in the meeting.
Lanise Cummings Vaughn, a resident of 8927 Litsinger, urged the Brentwood Board of Aldermen committee at its February meeting to address parking and traffic safety on the drive in front of McGrath High School.
"I live at 8927 Litsinger. I wrote an email to my alderman, regarding the parking and traffic on a high school drive in front of, McGrath," Vaughn said, describing vehicles parked near an alley that block visibility for drivers exiting onto the street.
Vaughn told the committee two signs mark a no-parking zone but said the signs do not reach the alley entrance, and drivers interpret the area between the sign and the alley as available parking. She said parked cars often sit so close to the alley that sight lines are poor and drivers do not slow down. "They’re like, yes, it is. It's behind the sign, not in front of the sign," Vaughn said, recounting an exchange with a driver.
Alderman Loch Miller told Vaughn the committee would take up the subject later in the meeting. "To the comment, Lanice, we will be taking this subject up later on in the meeting," Miller said.
The remarks came during the meeting's citizen-comment period; no ordinance, motion, or formal vote on the matter was recorded in the transcript. The committee did not provide an immediate action plan on the record at that time, but Miller indicated the topic would be discussed later in the meeting.
