This amendment is sponsored by Councilmember Rollo. It follows up on a recommendation in the Council Sidewalk Committee Report for 2012, which called for a portion of the 900 block of Mitchell Street (from Maxwell Lane to Southdowns Drive) be set aside for a walkway (via lane markings). Because the road is narrow, the recommendation was conditioned on the removal of parking from this block. Although staff recommended this change to the Traffic Commission at its March, 2012 meeting, the Commission did not approve it. In accordance with long-standing practice, matters like this one where staff and the Commission disagree, are generally brought forward as an amendment to the next traffic ordinance. Please note that residents and owners of property on this block as well as the affected Neighborhood Association were notified of this proposal and the opportunity to comment before and at the meeting on October 3rd
