Pines Request No Parking•
The Pines trailer court has two driveways on Excelsior Avenue.
The westerly driveway is intended for incoming and outgoing vehicles
and the sight problem for exiting vehicles is not made worse because
parking is banned west of this driveway.
The easterly driveway is for vehicles exiting from the court
onto Excelsior Avenue only. However, parking is permitted west of
this driveway to the next driveway.
The Pines Council has asked that some parking immediately west
of this driveway be banned to improve the safety for vehicles entering
Excelsior Avenue from the trailer court.

Re: Pines Request for No Parking Zone
We therefore recommend for Council consideration the following:
Post the south side of Excelsior Avenue for "No Parking Anytime"
from a point 106 feet west of the centerline of 19th Avenue to
a point 24 feet west (one car space).

Dear Mr. Strojan,
At your request I am sending you this letter to be discussed
at the next City Council meeting. The Pines Community Council
has brought up the issue of a "blind intersection" at the exit to
the Park and Excelsior Blvd. Due to ongoing problems re: this area
we feel something should be done to correct the problem before
anyone is hurt. A diagram will acompany this letter for further
verification. A lack of visability is created by trucks and cars
which are parking on Excelsior Blvd - too close to the Pines exit.
Those of us who are exiting the Park are unable to see the oncomming
cars on Exc. Blvd until we are already into traffic. As a Council
dedicated to the betterment of the Pines, we feel this problem could
be corrected by extending the yellow curbing at least another car
length and putting up a no- parking sign which could be seen even in
the winter when snow has covered the curb. We thank both you and
Ilp Mr. Lee Cooper for comming over right away to check out the situation
fter our call and would appreciate any further help you could be in
his matter.
