concur red.
4. .No Parkinq- East Side Carlsbad Blvd., Tamarack to Cherry
Mr. 'Watson represented property owners concerned with parked
vehicle accidents. He presented a good case for no parking
in this area. He believes the 5% cross'slope may be causing numerous accidents on the easterly side of Carlsbad Blvd.
Cars travelling north are losing control and running into
cars parked on the east side of Carlsbad Blvd. No parking was proposed for this section.
Because of this and other traffic problems on Carlsbad Blvd., the commission passed a motion (Sims-Nelson) to make the wide-
ening of Carlsbad Blvd. number one priority. To this end, the City Council will be requested to allocate money, from what-
ever source, to match the $30,000 grant from County Thorough- fare Funds. It was understood that Bob Watson will get a petition from property owners to back up the motion.
