FEBRUARY 20, 1991
LETTER RECEIVED FROM
MRS. CARMELITA P. PINEDA,
458 ALMOND DRIVE, LODI
COMPLAINING OF A SIGHT
DISTANCE PRCBLEM IN THE AREA.
CC -I6 The Mayor referred to staff the following letter received
from Mrs. Carmelita P. Pineda, 458 Almond Drive, Lodi, Ca
advising of a hazardous situation in the area of her
property. Mrs. Pineda stated that with the onset of
improvements in the area, Almond Drive was widened except
for two properties which causes a hazardous sight -distance
problem.
Since the expansion of the road on Almond Drive, backing
out from my driveway posed an everyday hazard. Before the
area was subdivided into single family housing units,
Almond Drive was a small country road. With the onset of
the improvements, the road was widened except with two
country properties which were left untouched; our property
and the one next to ours owned by Mrs. Sofie Nahorney.
With part of the road widened and part untouched, vehicles
parked alongside caused a double parking effect that
blocked my view in backing out everyday. I've been trying
to ignore the situation although it was an everyday hit or
miss driving condition. Today, I was almost hit by a big
passenger van due to failure of seeing it coming. I'm
bringing this to your attention for something must be done
to correct the situation. It will be very helpful if you
widen the road on Mrs. Nohorney's property. I'm hoping
that nothing tragic will happen. But if it will be
otherwise, I'm holding the city responsible for everything.
Hoping for your reply.

Dear Mayor,
Since the expansion of the road on Almond Dr., backing out from
my driveway posed an everyday hazzard.Before the area wa subdivi-
ded into a single family housing units, Almond dr. was a small
country road. With the onset of the improvements, the road was
widened except with wto country properties which were left untouch
ed; our property and next to ours own by Mrs Sofia Wahorney.With
part of the road widened and part untouched,vehicles parked along-
side caused a double parking effect that blocked my view in back
ing out everyday. (see attached diagram). I've been trying to ig
nore the situation although it was an everyday hit or miss driving
condition. Today, I was almost hit by a big passenger Van due to
failure of seeing it coming. I'm bringing this to your attention
for something must be done to correct the situation. It will be
very helpful if you widen the road on Mrs. Nahorny's property. I'm
hoping that nothing tragic will happen . But if it will be other-
wise, I'm holding the city responsible for everything.
Hoping for your reply.
