SUBJECT:
Large trucks parking on Bellina Street
TJKM has investigated the problem of large' trucks parking on Bellina Street
between San Ramon Road and Galindo Drive. Bellina Street is 42 feet wide and is
approximately 550' in length. The primary problem area is along the north curb in
front of Lucky Market, which is approximately 420' long. A drainage channel
parallels the south curb. The channel runs along the back side of residences along
Galindo Drive.
Traffic is controlled on Bellina Street with stop signs at San Ramon Road and
Galindo Drive. A double yellow centerline has been painted to delineate the three
sharp curves along Bellina Street. The Lucky Market has three access driveways.
The main driveway is about i00 feet from San Ramon Road. An intermediate
driveway which is closer to the market is about 200 feet from the first driveway.
The third driveway, is for deliveries to the back of the market and is at the apex
of a curve about 75 feet from the second driveway.
Large trucks and even passenger cars parked along the curves, near these
driveways create a serious sight distance problem for traffic exiting the driveways.
The middle driveway has virtually no visibility to drivers looking westerly.
Because of the sharp curves along Bellina Street, parked trucks also cause a
problem for through traffic. Through traffic would be able to maneuver more
safely without the presence of parked trucks or cars.
To Mleviate the sight distance problems and to make Bellina Street more driveable,
we recommend that NO PARKING ANYTIME (R26) signs be posted on both sides
of Bellina Street from San Ramon Road to the drainage channel crossing (420'+_).
