Description
at the beginning of 200 block of 14th st and Georgia
the st is too small especially when cars are parked at both sides
which it makes very difficult to pass thru
here a suggestion for traffic engineer
paint both solid curbs red for about at least 15 to 20 feet so cars can pass through without stopping sometimes at the middle of intersection

How far do you have to be parked from a stop sign?
California DMV says: "Within 30 feet (10 m) of a traffic light, STOP sign or YIELD sign. Within 20 feet (6 m) of a fire station driveway, or within 75 feet (23 m) on the opposite side of the road. Along a curb that is cut, lowered or made for access to the sidewalk. You cannot park your vehicle within 50 feet (15 m) of a railroad crossing."
And yet, in Vallejo, with all of our steep hills and narrow streets, we see people every day parking right up a stop sign, traffic light or curb cut. Why? Because it's Vallejo, and we have no law enforcement!
And speaking of steep hills. When the friendly old cop in the Cushman Cart was patrolling, he regularly tagged parkers with wheels not curbed. And now he's gone....

@City Maintenance and Traffic...
remove the side walk extension on either side...cars are parking on top of them 24/7 anyways. BUT do not remove any trees. Where there are trees do a bump-out, people will park in between. Bump-outs are used in other cities to slow traffic, per the traffic experts. This entire neighborhood has reduced streets but the level of traffic on this ONE block merits modification. The tax paying citizens that live on this street deserve not to have to "4-wheel Off Road" park everyday.
I avoid this street 98% of the time...all other times I say a prayer before using!!
