The Traffic Committee, after reviewing the Night Parking Ordinance, feels that it would not be wise to prohibit the parking of all types of motor vehicles on Redwood City streets since it would be 'Unenforceable due to the numerous multiple dwelling units without garage facilities. It has been determined that in most cases, vehicles which are parked in the streets at night are moved during the day time and therefore are not contributing to the hazard to children referred to by the City Council. The traffic committee was surveying the residents on Claremont Avenue regarding estab- lishment of a two-hour parking limit as recommended by the Council. The majority of the residents were against establishment of time limit parking. The Committee is still attempting to arrange a meeting with all parties concerned in an effort to find some solution to the unfavorable parking conditions that exists in this street. Councilman Jones moved acceptance of the Committee report, seconded by Councilman Granger. Councilman Britschgi requested that the Committee continue their studies and attempt to find the answer to this problem. Motion carried.
