The Vote: Unanimous Ayes Removal of Curb Parkin� on Court Street A.djacent to Yuba Street It is recommended that parking be prohibited at all times on Court Street adjacent to Yuba Street as follows: On the west side of Court Street for 72' north of the north curb line of Yuba Street On the east side of Court Street for 76' north of the north curb line of Yuba Street On the west side of Court Street for 81 ' south of the south curb line of Yuba Street Q On the east side of Court Street for 88' south of the �,�IJ south curb line of Yuba Street ��-- Members of Council expressed doubt that the removal of the parking spaces recommended would improve visibility sufficiently to solve the problem which exists at this inter- section. Larry Manahan of Superior Title Company said he is opposed to the elimination of the parking spaces at this intersection. Superior Title is constructing a new building on the southwest corner of Court and Yuba Streets and, although a parking lot will be provided for off-street parking, it is felt that curb parking is also needed. Mr. Manahan recommends the in- stallation of signals at this intersection. A. discussion ensued regarding signalization of this corner to control speed and for the safety of pedestrians . Public Works Director A.rness said he could not recommend sig- nalization for the reasons set forth and that previous traffic studies have indicated that warrants for signals have not been met. 145 Councilman Fulton commented re the signals at the Shasta and Court Streets intersection and said he feels these signals are not really needed and should be removed and placed at Court and Yuba. MOTION: Made by Councilman Fulton, seconded by Councilman Chatfield that this matter be referred back to the Traffic and Parking Commission for further considera- tion and for particular study with respect to installation of signals.
