Seamus and Vivian Brady, 420 Arch Street and James J. Curcuro, Sr., 421 Arch Street, described the poor conditions on their short block of Arch Street, calling attention to lack of adequate maintenance of some properties, possible illegal activities relating to drug use, long time parking in the street by truckers and commuters often causing driveways to be blocked and apparent presence of prostitutes on nearby E1 Camino Real. They reported lack of satisfactory response from the Police Department when incidents have been reported and urged Council to do whatever is needed to improve the situation in their neighborhood. In response to question from City Manager Smith relating to parking limits, they said they use their own garages and driveways and would favor parking limitations on the street. CONSENSUS: Mayor Britschgi determined it to be the consensus of Council to accept the offer of City Manager Smith to have staff look into the sitation on Arch Street and report back next week (3/10/86) (1104 -02) MEMO 3/7/86) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reg.Mtg. 3/3/86 Page 4 MINUTE BOOK NO. 46 Page No. 187
