Committee hears update on traffic and parking sign audit; members raise neighborhood parking safety concerns
Summary
Staff told the committee they are preparing a GIS audit of missing street signage and parking controls and will return with proposals. Committee members raised repeated concerns about increased on‑street parking in residential neighborhoods since COVID and suggested engineering analysis and cleanup efforts.
Committee members heard an update on traffic, parking studies and street signage and asked staff to return when the GIS audit is complete.
Staff said they are still working with GIS to audit where signage is missing and that presentation materials are not yet ready. The committee agreed detailed questions are better addressed after staff completes the data collection. The staff briefing will include analysis of potential rollout costs and proposals for signage or parking changes.
Several committee members described what they called a sharp increase in on‑street parking in single‑family neighborhoods and older apartment areas, saying the additional vehicles have reduced travel lanes in places and raised safety concerns for children playing near the street. Members suggested engineering analysis to identify specific locations and said outreach such as cleanup days could help residents create additional off‑street parking capacity.
No formal vote was taken; staff will return with data and proposed options in a future meeting.
