FROM: Dean Boyer, City Engineer
SUBJECT: One-way street pattern for Sunset Park
The width of the street through Sunset Park is 30 feet face of curb
to face of curb except at the east entrance on Sunset Drive which is 40
feet wide. With vehicles parked on both sides the street becomes very
narrow for two-way traffic, even for the slow speeds within the park area.
It is the opinion of this office that a one-way traffic flow could
work very well in this park. It should reduce congestion during periods
of heavy usage and certainly reduce the chance for accidents.
If the one-way system is adopted we would recommend the construction
of two asphalt medians similar to the existing median at the north entrance,
as these will be helpful in channelizing the traffic to a one-way system.
I have attached a sketch of the Sunset Park area showing the recom-
mended improvements and signing for a one-way street plan. The signing
should be as indicated by X and 0 on the sketch, using "one-wail signs
with arrows and "wrong way do not enter" signs. Parking should be re-
stricted as indicated by the dashed lines shown on the sketch at the
entrances and adjacent to the medians, as well as the present restrictions
in front of the band shell.
The estimated costs for the two median islands is $1,700.00 and $200.00
for the signs and posts, making a total expenditure of $1,900.00.
Respectfully Submitted
