Among items on the draft agenda:
8th Street, NE –DDOT has issued a notice of intent (NOI) to remove 40’ of resident permit parking spaces and establish a 15-minute loading zone along southbound 8th Street NE. DDOT recently completed a study concerning pedestrian safety at the intersection of 8th & D Streets, NE. This study found that No Parking zones on the corners of the south leg are being used for illegal parking. This behavior reduces the visibility of pedestrians both in and approaching the crosswalk. As a result, DDOT determined that curb bulb-outs will be installed with flexible post delineators to physically prevent this illegal parking. During the study, DDOT noted that patrons of local businesses were utilizing these No Parking zones. DDOT intends to establish this loading zone to provide an area for these activities to occur without impacting pedestrian safety at 8th & D Streets. 8th Street is the border between ANC 6C and ANC 6A.
508 L St. NE – Application to install a multi-unit mailbox for new condos in public space.
