Manager's report has before -and -after photos of successful corrections to code and maintenance infraction S21. 3.3.2. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS 3.3.2.1. Reconfigure on -street parking striping and signs where feasible to increase parking near major employers (potential example: Hester Street). Where street widths and driveway locations permit, change parallel curbside parking to angled or perpendicular, with paint striping. As properties redevelop, look for opportunities to close driveways or reduce curb -cut widths to increase curbside parking. Physical features can follow later (bulb -outs, etc.) 3.3.2.2. Assist the implementation of "Food Pods" on Merced near Kaiser Hospital, on Hester Street, and near the Farallon Drive and Catalina Street intersection (see item 3.3.1.2. above) as initial installations (Fig. 31). Where private properties cannot fully support both food pods and eating areas, consider utilizing a "parklet" platform occupying a curbside parking stall to assist with successful implementation (balancing this with on -street parking demand), or restriping of parking stalls if feasible and supportive. To the degree possible, co -locate food pods with incremental street improvement programs listed in item 3.2.2.2. following for maximizing the visibility and momentum of change. 3.3.2.3. Implement small-scale, low cost, visible and incremental streetscape improvements at select locations in the industrial areas as tactical measures to build a sense of momentum and change. 3.3.2.3.1. The recommended initial streetscape improvement location priorities are as follows: First Priority - "Boulevard Street": Merced Street between Williams Street and Wicks Boulevard, and Williams Street from Merced Street to Westgate Parkway (Fig. 28). Second Priority - "Back Streets" (supplemental pedestrian lighting first, others as feasible): Hester Street, the Farallon Drive and Catalina Street intersection, and Timothy Drive between Williams Street and its northerly industrial/residential use boundary (Figs. 33 & 34). Third Priority: 2nd phase of "Boulevard Street": Westgate Parkway from Williams to Davis Street (Fig. 28). 3.3.2.3.2. The recommended initial streetscape improvement type priorities are as follows (with approximate magnitudes of cost on a scale from $ to $$$$$, though this will depend on the geographic extents of project installations): 27Anexample of the Temple City, California report may be found at http://www.templecity.us/CM°/`20Reports/2013/7-19-13.pdf 21
