BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This public hearing was set to hear comments from the public regarding the proposed one-way street system in the cannery area east of Stockton Street. During the cannery season, the intensity of parking and the narrowness of streets in the cannery area causes a traffic -flow problem. All proposed one-way streets are 28' wide (curb to curb). This width allows for only one travel lane if cars are parked on both sides of the street (8' parking - 12' travel lane -'8' parking). See Exhibit A for map of the proposed one-way concept. Washington is proposed to be one-way to the north in order that it will empty into Tokay Street which is a standard two-way residential street and is considerably wider than Vine Street. The direction of the one-way couplets at Redwood and Maple and at Vine and Watson conform to standard guidelines for one-way couplets. On June 6 a letter transmitting the copy of the proposed one-way street system was sent to emergency services and other affected properties for comments. We have received comments from.only two outside parties which supported the proposal. The Fire Chief does have a concern about added response time. He has stated his concerns in a memo attached as Exhibit B. We have also attached a copy of a door hanger (Exhibt C) that was distributed to all residents/tenants in the area on Friday, July 12.
