REPORTS OF CITY MANAGER (continued) 4. Upland Road parking prohibitions Report of City Manager and Director of Public Works 7/8/82 Director of Public Works Addiego referred to a transparency illustrating the area and the proposed parking prohibitions. City Manager Smith reported that Mr. Addiego has spent considerable time in discussion with residents of the subject Upland Road neighborhood regarding parking problems created by the Clinic. Bradford McKane, Assistant Administrator, Redwood Medical Clinic, stated the Clinic was not consulted on the parking problem although the neighbors consider it the source of the problem. Mr. McKane reported that the Clinic owns several of the houses on Upland, most of which are on the side of the street proposed to have a 24-hour prohibition against parking. He suggested there is discrimination against the Clinic 's tenants in the proposed solution and urged that a 24-hour parking prohibition be placed on both sides of the street. Mr. Addiego reported that he personally gave Mr. McKane a copy of the report sent to the City Council and that Traffic Engineer Gee has talked with representatives of the Clinic also. Mr. Addiego said that the proposal is to prohibit parking on the north side of the street at all times because emergency vehicles would presumably be traveling on the right side of the street in responding to calls in the area, the street being almost too narrow to accommodate such vehicles if parking is allowed on both sides. City Attorney Schricker advised that Councilman Rhodes will neither participate in the discussion nor vote and has left the Council Chambers at this time. Dave Rusconi, 260 Upland Road, said he finds the proposed solution to the parking problem sa tis fac tory. Discussion continued and Mr. Addiego replied to questions concerning the enforcement of the parking prohibition; the need for residents to assume responsibility for their own parking; and! whether it might be possible to allow parking on both sides of Upland Road during nonbusiness hours.
