REPORTS
Dr. Fleagle reported that he }ms referred the matter to the Police
Department as to their authority for the enforcement of truck
parking. They are aware of the problem and have taken action at
several places. Staff will follow up with zoning ordinance control
on private property.
Mr. Saltarelli stated that his concern is that t~ick parking is
becoming a sore topic with the populace in residential areas.
Overaight truckers .~ark big rigs on 17th Street up and down Yorba,
Browning Avenue, Red Hill, Ne~ort, and they are very hazardous
because ~ey are wide and hide bikers m~d pedestrians. He feels
that the '~'
cl~: should not stand for the public streets becoming
parking lots. The Police Department should begin enforcing this
b~nediately.
The Agency acknowledged the report and requested that the Police
Department make this a top priority item for the next few months to
see if the problem can be alleviated. The staff will report back.
