| Changes are under consideration for upper De
La Vina Street through the Oak Park
Neighborhood Traffic Management Program. Back-In diagonal parking is being considered on upper De La Vina Street as a solution to parking constraints from Calle Laureles to Samarkand Drive. Back-in diagonal parking is a parking strategy that is used to increase the efficiency and the number of on-street parking spaces. Diagonal parking provides a more pedestrian and bicycle friendly design than traditional parallel parking. This informational brochure has been provided to explain the benefits of back-in diagonal parking. Please contact Transportation Planning Staff at 564-5385 for more information. |
