<br />· Assumptions and Footnotes: The memorandum does not include a listing of <br />assumptions and critical footnotes. The memorandum presents that there is ample <br />parking available in Joaquin Avenue, between Bancroft Avenue and San Jose Street; <br />however, the report does not footnote that this block and other streets in the area have <br />a 2-hour parking restriction that heavily influences parking turnover as shown in Figure <br />2 – Joaquin Avenue, between Bancroft Avenue and San Jose Street. The maps in the <br />report should clearly identify streets that currently have 2-hour parking restrictions to <br />fully understand parking trends. As a resident in Joaquin Avenue, I can share with you <br />that parking occupancy in Joaquin Avenue is very high which explains the establishment <br />of 2-hour parking restrictions, and it also shows the need for private properties to post <br />“Private Property, Clients Parking Only” as observed at 1388 Bancroft (see Figure 2). In <br />addition, the memorandum failed to evaluate parking trends on garbage pick-up day, <br />Mondays, when many residents struggle to find places to stage garbage bins and are <br />forced to place the garbage bins in front of their driveways which can be a fire <br />evacuation hazard. In fact, I don’t remember the last time the frontage of my property <br />being available during street sweeping day; City staff should consult with street <br />sweeping operators to confirm the very little parking available. <br />Figure 2 – Joaquin Avenue, between Bancroft Avenue and San Jose Street <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />580
